History of Fashion

 During one of our recent assignment, our class got to browse the internet to collect images from the different decades of the 1900's. This enjoyed this assignment because it was informative and I got to see new things. One of my favorite eras in fashion was the 1960's. Something about the approach of design during this age intrigues me. There is also an appealing quality about how conceptual the clothing was. Many designers created garments that were futuristic and looked 'space age.' This new trend of space clothing stemmed from the space race in the 60's. The space race was a tense competition between the U.S and the Soviet Union to have supremacy over spaceflight. Due to fabric shortages after the second world war, designers also began to use synthetic fabrics. They were marketed as cheap, and allowed for a bold shape and plastic texture.
