This is a bit different for me. In this video you'll learn about the zeitgeist, key designers, menswear, womenswear, and fashion icons of each era. Putting this together was a HUGE project, but the history of fashion is one of my passions, so I hope you enjoy it.

Thank you for that quote. I was intrigued by it and so searched the name of the prof which led me to her YT channel and the sad news of her passing. She was a year younger than me. I’ll be watching her videos and wishing that I’d known about her before she died. So sad.

One of the best reviews of fashion I've seen ...ever! Though I think I might have been looking the other way during the 'ME' generation part of the baby boomers .🤔🤪👀 And strongest memory of the mini skirt trend was kneeling to prove that your skirt covered your knees during high school!! 😝🤣🤣🤣Thanks again for the great history review! Brought back some funny memories!!

Two of the pictures you credited as Douglas Fairbanks are actually of his son Douglas Jr. The second one is actually signed as such. Junior was married to Joan Crawford for a few years, not Mary Pickford. Crawford was also a major fashion icon of the era.

Catherine, very interesting, particularly the second section, which you entitled 18th century, where you talk about Marie Antoinette’s chemise de reine, I believe it is called. I got the impression from what you said that the muslin dress was “all the rage” before the revolution. Is that accurate? And that the muslin dress led to what is called the Empire or Regency style with a higher “waist.” Is that accurate? Thank you for posting the video. Tom,

@CatherineSews 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, that's right! It was quite controversial at first for a Queen to dress in a chemise, but ironically it became THE fashion after the French revolution. Here's an interesting article on how the chemise a la reine came into being and how it also impacted the slave trade. www.racked.com/2018/1/10/16854076/marie-antoinette-dress-slave-trade-chemise-a-la-reine

@@CatherineSews Catherine, thank you for replying so quickly and thanks for the link to the article. I found it interesting. My idea is that styles and fashions rarely change abruptly, although following drastic events such as the French Revolution and the First World War, they may change quicker than at other times. So, the chemise de reine was part of the somewhat gradual shift, a quicker gradual shift, to the Empire or Regency style. I think of those styles as being the Jane Austen style as they chronologically fit better with her adulthood. Fashions of the post Revolutionary period, 1791 to 1820 and the post WWI period 1919 to 1929 are similar in that the styles deemphasized the natural waist, came after a period of turmoil and after political change, the revolution in France and women being allowed to vote in the US and UK. In both cases it seems to me that women were assertively adopting a simpler and more comfortable style of dress. Tom,

@@endymion2730 Yes, I absolutely agree on all counts. There are definitely some pivotal moments, but changes in fashion do tend to be gradual, even now in times of fast fashion and social media. If you look at fashion from 10 or 15 years ago, it's not drastically different from now, with some minor exceptions.

@CatherineSews 3 жыл бұрын

You're right, the history of fashion is not just about what was in style when, but WHY it was in style. To really understand the significance of changing styles, you have to understand the zeitgeist of an era, and the social, political, and economic factors of the time.
