The clothing that the designers are designing has touches here and there of styles from the 50's,60's, 70's, 80's and 90's that are being spiced up by the designers own personal taste...

My favorite fashion decades has to be the 60s. Everything was so colorful and classy at the same time. Of course, I'm a fan of the 80s craze as well. I love the boldness of that decade. Everything was big, bright, deep, and heavy. The 80s has made a huge comeback today with the leggings and neon colors. The 60s & 70s also made a little comeback with the wide-leg jeans and the headbands.
wow.fashion history is backkk. i think every decade has its unique style and each decade has been brought back to our time. there is always one thing that never goes out of style by each decade.

There were many fashion designers that were succesful in the 60's. Bibo in the 60's was the H&M for us. It was a highend store that sold things for low prices.
Another designer of the 60's would be Bonnie Cashin who made a line of women products.
Andre Courreges is known for the being the true creator of the mini skirt and is known for his creation of the triansle shift dress.

I love the 1970s, I always wished that I lived in that era of funkyness.... I loved the mini dress and disco fever....and the platform shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
maxi dresses, wedges, flared jeans, ra-ra skirts, safari gear, tunic dresses, jumpsuits, high waist trousers or skirts, leggings, skinny jeans, kick-flares are all back in style.
My favorite Decades are the 60z and the 80z. In the 60z people took chances and woar a lot ov different abstract prints on garments such as dresses shirts and skirts. That was also the time when they was experimenting with color. I like the 80z because it wasnt like the other decades it stood out. Back then people wanted to be different so they woar things that would seem to be unusual but still could be pulled off. The 80z had a lot of mellow and matalic colors. As well as stripes and Tutu fabrics. I mean the 80z look was so outstanding that the 80z are back and its the year 2009 and it looks like this decade is not going no where. For my project I would problay end up picking Between thoses two decades.
I read that before H&M, Topshop, or Forever 21 there was Biba, the first high fashion, low price clothes for teenagers. They sold long tight sleeves, short hemlines, and high shoulders.
André Courrèges was known as the true creator of the "mini" skirt.
Bonnie Cashin was also a well known American sportswear designer. Hubert Givenchy helped dress actresses and Yves Saint Laurent started his own line during the 1960's. during those years shift dresses, mini skirts, opaque tights and leather boots were really famous.
I love the 1950's because it's shillouttes ameze me, i really like them. I learned that Christian Dior changed the style of that time by adding hourglass shapes to clothing. Jaques Fath also changed the look by using plunging necklines. I think this was really cool bc women started to be more feminine with their clothing, helped them feel more girly with gowns and hourglass dresses.
now the 1970's really changed what women wore, blue jeans just hit everyone in the face and everyone started wearing them.
Halston created almost every popular dress seen on dance floors during the 1970's.
And the most famous designers we all know and hear about came from the 1980's such like; Calvin Klein, Giorgio Armani, and Ralph Lauren.
its pretty cool how fashion from before gets revived every season.

Fashion is always seeming to repeat itself. i myself dress more on the 80's hip hop style.[which is now considered retro] i cant speak for everyone else, but i feel that the disco 70's are going to come back next. if you've noticed bell bottom type pants are in style with the urban youth. so people call it Harlem swag, but hey its all the same.

70s: short check flared skirt was very popular. Halter neck dress maxi or above the knee.Exotic and tropical prints.straight or flared Empire line dresses with a sequined fabric bodice and exotic sleeves were the style for a dressy occasion. granny dresses in floral prints with lace.
50s: sheath dresses, full skirts, strapless dresses in taffetas, lace, nets, tulle, chiffon and satin or even nylon, low necklines, underslips, corsets, Shorter cocktail dresses with higher necklines were never worn before 6pm and they were often of shot silk, brocade, lace net, grosgrain, tulle, chiffon, lustrous satin and even floral or abstract prints. The LBD or little black dress as we know it today evolved from this period. shirtwaisters often had three quarter sleeves and turn back cuffs. Many were made in striped fabrics with typical colour combinations being navy and white, emerald and white or candy pink and white as well as plain solid strong colours like turquoise or coral. Hour glass styled suits, Jackets that flared over the hip with a hint of a peplum were both worn with calf length narrow pencil skirts and gored fuller skirts, headbands, small juliet caps, matching coat or duster coat/ opera coat with a dress, chopped off small boleros cut above the waist by a few inches having a toreador effect, or jackets could be bloused at the waist or appear as hip length jackets. kimono sleeves, mandarin collars, gloves of all types, printed foulard silk or Tricel scarves and stoles or wraps in satin or fur. casual dresses and the halter neck dress was a favourite holiday style along with playsuits of shorts and bare midriff top in matching print fabrics. denim jeans strictly worn by teenagers, mid calf Capri pants made popular by the Italian film industry
60s: early sixties, pleated skirts set on a hip yoke basque were worn with short sleeved over blouses which were cut not unlike the shell tops of today. Straight skirts had front and back inverted pleats called kick pleats and were ideal for doing the twist dance craze as they allowed the knee to move freely. Straight sweater dresses in lambswool or the synthetic acrylic variety called Orlon were worn belted with waists nipped in became fashionable.
Pencil skirts were still worn with sweaters or even back to front cardigans that had been pressed super flat. Before the days of tumble driers many women lay their washed rung out knitwear in paper tissue and then brown paper. They put it to dry under a carpet for two days. When it was removed from the tissue, the footsteps that had pounded over the knit gave it a flat dry cleaned as new appearance.
1966 Mary Quant was producing short waist skimming mini dresses and skirts that were set 6 or 7 inches above the knee. It would not be right to suggest she invented the fashion mini skirt. In 1965 she took the idea from the 1964 designs by Courrèges and liking the shorter styles she made them even shorter for her boutique Bazaar. She is rightly credited with making popular a style that had not taken off when it made its earlier debut became known as the "chelsea look."Tights in the late 60s were often patterned with arrangements of diamonds or other motifs and a favourite colour of the era was a golden brown called American Tan. Fishnet tights were also popular briefly. Lurex glitter tights in gold or silver were a hit for the Christmas period. Big on seamless tights. Lower kitten heels were a dainty alternative to stilettos Pointed toes gave way to chisel shaped toes in 1961 and to an almond toe in 1963. Flat boots also became popular with very short dresses in 1965 and eventually they rose up the leg and reached the knee. A cult for Dr. Scholl clog sandals worn in offices and outdoors was all the rage in the mid to late sixties in the same way that Birkenstocks were popular in the 1990s. Knitted twin sets were still worn, but often the items were worn as separates. Square, V or round neck pinafore dresses in plain or tartan wool fabrics were teamed with polo neck jumpers or tie neck blouses.Baby doll dresses of 1966 were full and flared into tent shapes mostly with cutaway armholes or/and a halter neck. They were made of transparent tulles, lace or chiffons plain or tree bark mounted over a matching lining or could be made of crinkled cotton crepe fabrics. Sleeveless things were a plus to show off arms. Black polo neck sweaters made popular by the Beatles cover album were often worn under check pinafore dresses. The dresses were usually solid colours of red or purple wool material. Checks of black and white such as dog or hound's-tooth or Prince of Wales check. Black and white was a sixties combination and was used in op art dresses and block pieced dresses worked in Mondrian style. Black patent accessories complimented all these combinations.short little coloured gloves with a hole cut out to reveal the back of the hand. The gloves were similar in appearance to golf gloves of today. With the gloves coloured plastic beaded raffia knit bags and plastic coloured bangles and chandelier earrings made of large sequin discs were all high fashion accessories that lasted about 5 years.Quite formal trousers worn with a tunic, shirt, skinny rib or matching suit jacket were acceptable in certain work situations and liked as alternative evening wear when made from slinkier materials. Trousers were made from Courtelle jersey, cotton velvet, silky or bulked textured Crimplenes, lace with satin, and Pucci style printed Tricel. Hipster versions were popular and very flared versions developed by the late sixties, with every style ultimately translating into denim jeans. Its worth noting that the hipsters of the 60s were not quite as low cut along the pelvic line as low rise jeans of 2005.
MY FAVORITE FASHION DECADES WOULD HAVE TO BE THE 50'S & 90'S. EACH DEACDE IS INSPIRED BY A DIFFERENT SIDE OF ME. THE 50'S IS FULL OF BEAUTIFUL DRESSES W/ GREAT FORLA PRINTS. AND THE THE 90'S IS MORE OF A TOMBOY FEELING W/ THE TIGHT BELLY SHIRTS AND LOSE FITTED JEANS.
ALOT OF DESIGNERS USE STYLES FROM THE 50'S LIKE TRACY RESSE AND PH. SOME DESIGNERS ARE STARTING TO BRING BACK THE LOOSE FITTING JEANS WHICH ARE REFERRED TO "BOYFRIEND". BOYFRIEND JEANS ARE STARTING TO BECOME A NEW TREND.
i have to say that fashion is a evolution and a revolution . It seems like old styles have been reused over and over again . I noticed that many designers look to the past for inspriration on their collections . i really enjoyed looking Bob Mackie's collection . I really liked the fruity eye popping outfits ! The 80's trends have to be one of my favs!
i think that fashion evoles from all differenet kimds of decades. we use diferent time periods to create new trends from old fashion. i think that we sould all find inspriation from past times.
