This book is part of the fashion education collection by Janet Reed and the 6th book in The Evolution of Fashion history series.
Learn how people defied the restrictions of Prohibition and drank alcohol, danced to jazz music, and partied till dawn at speakeasies and parties. The standard of living was at an all-time high as consumerism encouraged people to buy an automobile, radio, and phonograph. And everyone went to the movies. Modernism was in full swing through Art Deco interiors, Erté's artwork, and the chic sports costumes introduced by fashion leaders Coco Chanel and Jean Patou. Through stories, art, and photographs, learn about the important events and people who shaped history during this energy-infused fashion era.
The study of fashion history is vital for those pursuing fashion as a career because from the past we learn how to interpret fashion trends and cultural cycles in the present day. Former design styles, silhouettes, accessories, hairstyles, and dressmaking techniques inspire designers and promotional agents to reinvent old ideas for a new generation and new fashion era.
