| Abstract: | This thesis project is a collection of articles that discuss American fashion
during the 20th century. The articles are grouped by decade, starting in the year
1900 and finishing in the year 2000; with a double-decade piece for the beginning
of the century. Fashion is an ever-changing, growing entity that connects with
every person in the United States; some embrace it while others ignore it, yet
fashion has a place in the American society that is constant. Through world wars
and depressions, fashion takes on revolutionary hardships and transforms itself
accordingly, becoming selections of style that fit every occasion, taste, and social
standard. What happens in society is demonstrated in fashion. Coco Chanel
quoted, “fashion is always of the time in which you live.” These articles
correspond to and represent that. |
