History
Edwardian
 
Edwardian 1890 - 1914
 
The fashionable hour glass
silhouette belonged to the mature
woman of ample curves and full
bosom. The S-bend health corset
set the line for fashion conscious
women until 1905. The corset was
too tightly laced at the waist and
so forced the hips back and the
drooping monobosom was thrust
forward in a pouter pigeon effect
creating an S shape
 
Paul Poiret
 
The term 'hobble skirt' came into
popular use in the early 1910s, when
a European fashion trend started by
French designer Paul Poiret
introduced long skirts that were
narrow at the hem, thus 'hobbling'
the wearer.
 
Roaring 20’s
 
Dipping, scalloped and handkerchief
hemlines in floating fabrics.  It was only in
1925 that skirts rose 14 to 16 inches (45
to 50 cm) from the ground making the
shorter hemline we associate with the era.
Female clothes became looser and more
shapeless in fit. The bust was suppressed,
the waist disappeared, the shoulders
became broader and hair shorter and
shorter.  Narrow boyish hips were
preferred.  The silhouette emphasised a
flattened chest and womanly curves were
eliminated a
s the line became more
simplified.
 
Madeleine Vionnet, 1930’s
 
In the 1930s, the ideal of
slimness remained but the
silhouette regained some
curve.
 
Evening dresses during this
period were made of
clinging bias-cut fabrics
that expressed the body
underneath with every
motion
 
Rationing, 1940’s
 
Fashion items that became popular were the wedge sole
shoe, the turban, the siren suit and the kangaroo
cloak.  The turban equalised people of all sorts.  It began
as a simple safety device to prevent the wearer's hair
entangling in factory machinery.  It doubled as a disguise
for unkempt hair which women had less time to attend to
being so busy running homes, jobs and giving extra help
wherever they could.
 
1940’s New Look
 
women's fashion in the 1940s
combined style and practicality to
achieve a lasting elegance.
In 1947 a revolutionary new fashion
style dubbed the New Look by the
press thrust fashion designer
Christian Dior into the headlines.
Styles began to change silhouette as
skirts lengthened and increased in
volume or became long slim line
columns. This set the silhouette
style trends for the next ten years.
 
Jacques Fath, 1950’s
 
The fashion in the 1950s
could be considered
sophisticated as defined by
flowing ‘Dior’ ball gowns but
it can also be described as
gritty which can be seen in
the teddy boy movement
that helped define fashion
in the 1950’s england.
 
‘Teddy Boys, 1950’s’
 
featuring slim coats with
velvet trim and the
impeccable tailoring
preferred by upper class
gentlemen. The Teds built
their own characteristic look
by mixing the Edwardian
style with American
Western and rock and roll
looks.
This conjunction of styles
from the past and the
present created a “neo-
Edwardian” look that would
earmark the start of fashion
conscious youngsters.
 
Mary Quant, 1960s
 
The 
1960s featured a
number of diverse trends.
It was a decade that
broke many fashion
traditions, mirroring social
movements during the
period.
 
‘Mods, 1960’s’
 
Male mods adopted a
smooth, sophisticated look
that emphasised tailor-
made Italian suits
(sometimes white) with
narrow lapels, mohair
clothes, thin ties, button-
down collar shirts, wool or
cashmere jumpers
(crewneck or V-neck),
pointed-toe leather shoes
that were nicknamed
winklepickers, as well as
Chelsea or "Beatle" boots.
 
Zandra Rhodes, 1970’s
 
1970s fashion, which
began with a continuation
of the mini skirts, bell-
bottoms and hippie look.
 
Vivienne Weswood, 1970’s
 
The "punk style" included
safety pins,  bicycle or
lavatory chains on clothing
and spiked dog collars for
jewellery, as well as
outrageous make-up and
hair.
 
Calvin Klein, 1980’s
 
1980s as both men and
women began to wear
looser shirts and tight,
close-fitting jeans.
 
Marc Jacob, 1990
 
Most of the fashion trends
of the 1990s are based
around blue jeans and the T-
shirt.
men's cardigan sweaters and
collarless polo shirts for
girls and women.
Colours such as coral, hot
pink and turquoise became
popular among girls and
young women in 1991.
 Hypercolour clothing, made
of material which changes
colours according to
temperature, was briefly
popular in 1992.
 
Tommy Hilfiger, 2000
 
Hip hop fashion progressed a lot
during this decade. Hip hop
culture fashions (especially
hoodies and sweatpants)
influenced many subcultures.
 Hoodies were also worn under a
sport coat. Within hip hop
clothing, baggy jeans, denim-
jean jackets with matching
jeans were popular, along with
tracksuits (primarily made of
fleece that matched top and
bottom usually worn with a
headband for men).
Bandanas with rhinestones were
popular from late 2000 to early
2002.
