Uses of Motif in Fashion Industry and Development

Introduction
Admittedly the creation of things for use is the basic motivating force in the practical operations of man. But amazingly his endeavors have never been merely utilitarian. An unconscious desire to beautify all that he has or does has led him to seek the elements of beauty and to integrate them with the purpose of his living.
