Latin term or phrase: modus induendi
Hi, Can anyone tell me the meaning of this expression please? It appears in a fashion marketing text in Italian, referring to the fact that their garments do not draw upon other cultures or periods.
Thanks!

way/style of dressing
Explanation:
"Modus" means way, mode, style.

And induendi comes from the verb induo, which means clothe, put on clothing.

I do not know the exact context in which this appears, but from your description it would seem to fit. I hope this helps.
