Creative Fashion

How to be creative? This is a question most commonly asked  by yourself when you have nothing to wear. You can find yourself digging through your closet and dresser when you just don't know what to wear. Either  you've worn everything you have, need new clothing, or some don't fit you. That's why many fashion designers are recycling and reusing to make your outfit look new. They match old stuff with new ones making you seem like you're up to date on fashion.




Creative fashion isn't just about mix matching your clothes it can be a way to express your self like you would do in art but you would wear your feelings. Most are out of extraordinary things. They can be recycled or objects at home.

WWII Fashion

       Fashion during WWII changed the history of fashion. Because of the war going on designers were short on supplies and not many clothing stores were available. That's when the two piece bathing suit was invented which did become popular.Patterns on skirts and blouses seemed to be seen less and less but were still used and instead solid colors were used more often. The shortage of the fabric supplies like wool were seen rarely and instead viscose, rayon, and other artificial fabrics were used. Narrow hip and knee length with small waists skirts, squared shoulders, and tailored suit were the high fashion at the time.Now in the 21st century fashion back then is nothing compared to the way we dress now. It is no doubt that fashion has been developing through out the years.


  This is how fashion developed from the 1900's to the 1960's . In my opinion I think there is a huge difference if you look at the first picture to the last.You can even tell from just looking at it that the materials used that they're different too.
