the fashion world

The fashion world turned to French fashion in the early 1900, This was the time of the hour glass shape for women that started in the vintage fashion they displayed; the corset that some women are still wearing up to the present became very famous to show the S-bend silhouette. You can just imagine how women have been so vain in their waistline already. The flimsy lines came after the 1908, gone are the bulky petty coats underneath the garments. The pleating and dyeing process came to be reflected in the clothing until the World War I where women were dressing for comfort and not for fashion, women learned to work and became practical at these times.

Skirts were introduced in 1915 in the ankle length until it became shorter up to the mid-calf. The vintage fashion started having the short skirts together with the introduction of the automobiles. Many changes happened, carriages to cars; long-train gowns to pinafores above the knees; skirts to short bobs until women even started borrowing their clothing from men's fashion. The A-line skirts did not take so long to be patronized since many fashion designs were introduced really fast in the market. Some of the hairstyle and fashion of that time changed with the time and some very famous designers of the present time came from this era of vintage clothing designing like Jean Patou and Coco Chanel as well as many others.

The sudden change in the women's fashion again came in the 40s, many vintage fashion houses closed. After the war, new fashion came with a complete new look, the designers from the early years like Chanel disliked the new look, it was the end of women following the Paris fashion.
