The history of fashion takes us into a time warp. It’s art in its purest form. It is all about style. The way a designer puts into form fabric and colors to make an outfit has always been greatly watched by many. Designer clothing makes its way into films and magazines now and is the high talk of many magazines.
You have two types of fashion, high fashion and good fashion. You can make your own designs with a dress making pattern. High fashion clothing is very expensive and the uses of these garments don’t go past you wearing the item for more than one time. Good fashion clothing can be clothing that either has a designer attached to it or not, but the clothing looks great.
You can have a piece of clothing that hugs the body or loosely fitted with something tied around it. That is fashion style. Buttons can go up the back or down on the side. Pants can be plain or have designs on them. Outfits can hug the body or drape the body.
Throughout time there have been certain fashion styles that stick out. Some pants are tight fitting around the ankle or you have bell bottoms. The designs on the fabric and all the different colors all make up a certain style. Clothing that was in the in 60s could come back now in the 21st century. Many people like to start new trends, while certain styles are best to remain in there former time period.
Look at all the different fashion magazines to get an idea of style. These are the resources that show what is currently in season and what is out of style. Museums can be a good source to get a good history on fashion.
Take a look at what other people are wearing. Look at all kinds of fashion magazines or surf online to see what is hot and what isn’t. People are always talking about what’s hot. The ads in magazines serve as a good source as well.
When you see something of good style make a note of how you would change the fashion yourself into something different. Get a sewing machine and rip apart some of your clothing and make it into a new piece. Put some lining in a coat or a patch on a pair of jeans.
Where can you get ideas about fashion from? Take a look outside, is the wind blowing or do you see snow on the road? Many things can give you ideas. Going to the park while you see the children at play, or if you see someone in concert can spark up your creative side. You can find style in just about anything. Look at the current time frame that you live in. Everything changes, certain fashion designs are hot one day and gone the next. That’s a little bit of history of fashion.
