Fashion through ages

Hello, my name is Valeria and today we are going to talk about fashion through the ages. I think we all know how much fashion has changed in these years, today we are going to talk about fashion in the 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's and more! Hope you enjoy it!

Fashion in the 70's

As the Swinging Sixties turned into the 1970s, the influence of boutique stores and diffusion lines made ready-to-wear clothing increasingly accessible. New synthetic fabrics meant that fashionable styles could be bought at any price point. So pervasive were these materials that the seventies became known as the “Polyester Decade.” The decade saw a wide range of popular styles: from the early prairie dresses influenced by hippie fashion, to the flashy party wear worn to disco nightclubs, to the rise of athletic wear as the decade looked towards the 1980s, the seventies was a decade that explored fashion, but also looked back.

The 70's is where fashion began with a continuation of the past years and making it a new era in fashion, 70's designers looked to the past for inspiration.

Fashion in the 80's

The 1980s were a decade of bold style, colors, and silhouettes—and heaping amounts of permed hair. With trends spanning ripped tights and biker jackets, polished oversized blazers and poof skirts; and style icons ranging from Joan Jett to Joan Collins, it was one of the most eclectic decades in fashion. Like it or not, the '80s are back in full force. From shoulder pads to power suits and all that's in between, some of the era's key looks are making a comeback in fashion. Get inspired by taking a look back at some of the most memorable and defining style moments of the decade.

Fashion in the 90's

And the final decade of the twentieth century, fashion continued to move towards a more casual style of dressing and minimalism. While there were periods of more formal dress, the twentieth century largely saw fashion moving towards a much more minimalist and casual style and as the eighties ended, this approach became widespread. By the end of the decade, it was clear that this approach to dressing was here to stay.

While the decade began with the popularity of these high fashion and larger-than-life styles of the eighties, fashion quickly moved toward less glamorous and more casual dress

Fashion in the 00's

At the turn of the millennium, fashion looked to the future as technology began seeing the rapid development that would lead to the widespread use of smartphones and social media by the end of the decade. The emphasis on new technology inspired fashion with metallic silvers, blacks and the use of straps and belts to create a Matrix-esque look.

However, after the events of 9/11 and the mortgage crisis of 2001, fashion turned back towards conservatism. In America especially, this marked the rise of jeans for every occasion. This stayed true throughout the decade, however, the dominant style changed over the years. In the early 2000s, low-rise, flared jeans were prevalent while by the mid-2000s, bootcut jeans had grown more popular. During this period, True Religion and 7 for all Mankind were staple denim brands. Jeans were even worn on the red carpet with True Religion a popular option as chosen by Jessica Alba (Fig. 4). In 2005, skinny jeans were introduced and were commonplace by 2006. Distressed jeans – purposefully ripped, frayed, or otherwise worn jeans – were a hallmark of the era, and jeans were accepted as appropriate attire in nearly all situations during the decade.

Thanks to Tumblr, a new grunge aesthetic made an appearance in the 2010s consisting of pieces from retailers like Urban Outfitters and American Apparel. Plaids and stripes dominated as prints, paired mainly with neutral pieces.
