Lights , cameras and fashion...

I’m a big fan of vintage clothing even though I don’t possess any vintage piece in my wardrobe. But recently I’ve been seeing a comeback with the 50’s trend. The fifties made a big spin in fashion. Teenagers started to be the new fashion target (girls used to dress like their mother when they were teens). With the new youth movements the decade worked as a bridge, transforming the conservative forties style and opening way into the liberal sixties. Teens started earning money and buying their own clothes, creating their own styles and defining their own trends. But these trends were also influenced by the T.V, Hollywood films, magazines and music, from James Dean to Elvis Presley. Pretty much what occurs nowadays don’t you think? Fashion Designers started experimenting with new styles, for example famous fashion designer of the decade, Christian Dior, brought to the world in his Spring/Summer collection of 1947 the ‘’New Look’’ that consisted of a new silhouette. The pencil skirts (even though they were from the late forties) and the full skirts were born! As him other designers contributed to changes in the silhouette of women clothes, like Coco Channel. Baby boomers change the set in fashion; they gave the world an invigorating sense of individuality that fashion offers today, a new way of expression. Hope you like the pix! Enjoy!
