Bright and happy 1980's fashion:

When you think back to the 1980s they are many things that come to mind. There is something that is highlighted in our minds when we think back on the 1980s, and that is the 80s fashion.It is very easy to recognize the fashion of the 1980s. This cannot be necessarily said of the fashion from the previous decades, because they share common elements that make them hard to distinguish from each other. It is safe to say that the 1980s fashion is in a completely distinct class of its own.Even though one can still find boys that are wearing tube socks today, during the 1980s tube socks were the in thing to wear for girls and they wore it with almost any kind of outfit. However, just plain old tube socks were not enough during the 1980s.
Movies played a huge part in influencing the 1980s fashion. Do you remember the movie Flashdance? That movie defined the new 1980s fashion look for young girls. Suddenly everyone had to wear large sweaters that exposed one shoulder with the gym bra strap exposed over the shoulder.

Women fashioning in 1920:

Fashion gain popularity in 19th century.Many of designer became popular in this feild,Elizabeth hawes,Valentina,Jo Copeland.By the 1920 ,women's lives and work patterns changed,so too did the image of the dressmaker.No logger looked down on as a humble "trade" fashion design becoming so popular career choice for the young middle class women.Jo Copeland is a good example.She went into fashion not because her father was in clothing business.but because she wanted a job with artistic and creative associations.The family was sufficiently prosperous to enable her mother to employ custom of dressmaking.Her,ambition however went far beyond conventional dressmaking.
It helped if a women designer could be her own best fashion model,as was Copeland.If dress designer were no longer artisans ,it seemed,they should be cleberties or at least fashion leader.







Women fashioning in America:

Most American dressmaker copied or adapted french styles,but issue at the end at hand is not simply one of center versus periphery.The structure of the American fashion industry and the culture of fashion in America milted against the recognition of individual fashion designers.America's Puritan heritage and nation's ideology of egalitarianism resulted in a pervasive culture suspicion of fashion.At the same time ,many American women were attached by precisely these chracterstics.As a result,both custom dressmaker and manufacturs of ready to wear clothes frequently imported french dresses and/or sewed false paris label into amrecan made dresses.
The first american women to achieve national reputation for fashion inovation was Ellen curtis demorest known professionally as Madame demorest,she was "as important to american nineteenth century fashion as worth would be the development of paris couture.Morethan any else .she foresaw the struture of american fashion as the comination of innvention,prodution,education,marketting and distribution.

An English man whi in 1857 establish  a couuture house in paris,the world capital of women's fashion since the seven centary,worth bacme famous in part because of his gender.The " man milliner" was curiosity.However wort6h also significance change ed the structure of couture,moving it away from it's origins as small scale crraft towards it's future as big bussiness and high art.
