Era of Fashion

An Era of Fashion Webster dictionary states that fashion is The make or form of something. The prevailing style during a particular time. Personally, I believe fashion is not Just what you wear but a state of mind. I once read a quote by coco Channel that read, Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safer, the creatures of the commonplace the slaves of the ordinary. This to me said it all.Fashion is about covering the true o and the statement that you want to make on that particular day, weather that statement is bold or casual in sweat blow and a white T. Fashion is not Just what we see everyday in magazines. Fashion is what you make it. During the pre asss through the early to mid-asss fashion vogues such as the mini skirt, maxi skirt, mini dress, the halter neck cat dress, fl ared trousers, empire dresses, high waist banana sears, bell bottoms, army Jackets and Jumpsuits were all t he rage.Two of the more sound known people I believed to represent the asss well was, Affray Facet, who cocked the feathered hairstyle and asss style well for the ladies and Elvis Presley who was well known for unceasingly looking astonish in Jumpsuits showed the boys exactly how to make an outfit look good. In the photos I have chosen to use you will see my Grandparents, my Uncle, my mother and my father. My Grandparents and Uncle have always lived in Tucson, Az as for my mother for most of her spiritedness has lived in Tucson, except with a two year influence from her time spent in California.As for my father he was born and raised in capital of the Bahamas, Bahamas until his college years when he moved to Tucson. The pictures were not taken for a particular reason other than to recover the time my father went to the Pimp Air Show and the time my mother spent visiting Harbor Island. The trends in both hair style and garments are shown. For instance my mother in the black and w hite photograph shows Just how being hip in that time of age would have been represented, which was shown by the mini dress and having hair as big as you could get it to go. The types of clothing shown in my pictures are more on the casual side of everyday life in the U.S. Back in the asss. Because fashion has always reflected its moment in history one could say that clothes mocked their environment. More designers were finally getting the happen to travel. This gave them a chance to see other nations. Viewing other nations meant new colors, textures, materials and ideas. There was now more to fashion than the same old boring prints. What is superfluous about the asss clothing to me are the patterns and the colors. The asss was bold and therefore the colors and shapes of the garments were bigger than life. Personally, it seems to me that living in the asss meant that one could not be shyThis era in time was such a big influence on the world and trends can still be seen in present day. For example, That asss Show, puts forth a capital understanding of the prints, textures, and all around style of the asss. Another show that from time to time will represent the asss is The Rachel Zoe Project. Rachel Zoe is a fashion stylist, who herself every so frequently will show high wasted pants, big earrings, big hair, patterns, and styles from the asss. All in all I believe that the seventies was an amazing and inspiring era. QUESTIONS 1 .
