Each epoch leaves its imprint on all spheres of human life, and fashion is no exception. It would be even more correct to say that it is in fashion that all the trends of the ages are reflected.
Digging in the history of fashion of the 20th century - the occupation is very fascinating. The very concept of "fashion" is associated, above all, with France. And the fashion of the 20th century was no exception. The progenitors of almost all the fashionable novelties of the last century were the French.
French fashion of the 20th century
Frenchman Paul Poiret at the beginning of the century gives women the opportunity to breathe a full breast (literally!) - By abolishing the corset. He also made the dress shorter and radically changed the cut of the women's dress. Thanks to Poiret, there appeared dresses of straight cut, dresses-shirts, narrow skirts, women's blazers, kimono dresses. In 1912, this great Frenchman showed the first fashion show.
Of course, the fashion of the beginning of the 20th century is also the masterpieces of the great Coco Chanel . In the women's fashion of the 1920s, Chanel introduces the elements of a man's suit - jackets, trousers, shirts with a tie. It was at this time that she created her famous black little dress.
Cardinally changes the way of life. Women began to engage in responsible and complex work with men on an equal basis. The standard is a sports figure with narrow hips and a flat chest. At the same time, dresses with an oblique hem, with a very low waistline (somewhere on the hip line) and a midi length are in fashion.
Fashion 30-ies of the 20 th century again brings to the fore a romantic female image with a sensual bright mouth and a fine curl of hair. Another great woman of that era - Marlene Dietrich - introduces a feminine fashion of the early 20th century tuxedo.
Thanks to the Hollywood divas, all sorts of stoles, boas, fur boas, pelerines that successfully complement dresses made of satin, brocade or natural silk become very popular.
The fateful forties also had an indelible influence on the fashion of the 20th century. Alas, but in the harsh wartime it was not up to luxury, and fashionable clothes began to resemble a military uniform. Although already in 1947 Christian Dior shows a new collection of "New Look", which produced the effect of an exploding bomb. A very feminine image with full hips and rounded shoulders was presented, with a narrow waist and a high bust. There were magnificent under skirts and transparent blouses. Returns to the interest in decorative cosmetics, but in fashion enters the hair. The woman again becomes a Woman.
The middle of the century. Emilio Pucci gives the world Capri pants. Fashion 50-ies of the 20 century immersed in a world of new forms, proportions, silhouettes. Each woman is given a huge selection of clothes for every taste. In the world of fashion comes Saint Laurent with his style. Furor produces the appearance of a bikini. The fashion of the middle of the 20th century gives the world more than one revolutionary discovery. First of all, Vivier Roger comes up with shoes with a heel-heel height of 7-8 cm, which became a symbol of the era. The Great Coco presents its famous costumes, now bearing her name.
The explosion was made by the hippy fashion, overturning the understanding of the youth fashion - jeans fabric is firmly and permanently included in the fashion collections of all fashion designers. And, of course, this is the mini-skirts of the Englishwoman Mary County. At the same time, the world capital of fashion moves from Paris to London, temporarily.
English fashion of the 20th century
The foggy Albion of the last century became the cradle of some fashionable trends that gave impetus to the modern style of kazhual. First of all, this is the style of Modos, which was very fond of impeccable taste and quality. Adherents of this style were the legendary The Beatles. Then there are skinheads, hippies, and a little later - punks. And only later comes the style of casual, which today, in terms of its semantic richness, stands second after the classical style.
