This history of fashion is an interesting road to walk down.  Take a closer look in my corner to see what I see. It’s art that you wear.  Methods of putting the cloth together are always different.  Fashion designers are always watched to see what kinds of styles they will be putting out for the season.  Designer clothing can be found in films, magazines and is on many talk shows.

A dress making pattern, let’s explore two different types of fashion, high fashion and good fashion.  High fashion is the clothing with the high price tag that is usually found wore on the red carpet in Hollywood.  Good fashion is your practical and everyday design that you would wear to most of your special occasions.

You can have a piece of clothing that hugs the body or loosely fitted with something tied around it.  That is fashion style.  Buttons can go up the back or down on the side.  Pants can be plain or have designs on them.  Outfits can hug the body or drape the body.

Throughout time there have been certain fashion styles that stick out.  Some pants are tight fitting around the ankle or you have bell bottoms.  The designs on the fabric and all the different colors all make up a certain style.  Clothing that was in the in 60s could come back now in the 21st century.  Many people like to start new trends, while certain styles are best to remain in there former time period.

Look at all the different fashion magazines to get an idea of style.  These are the resources that show what is currently in season and what is out of style.  Museums can be a good source to get a good history on fashion.

Make it a habit to observe what people are wearing.  Subscribe to different fashion magazines or bookmark some of your favorite fashion URLs that might be online.  See what other people are talking about.  Watch the ads in the magazines as well.

When you see something of good style make a note of how you would change the fashion yourself into something different.  Get a sewing machine and rip apart some of your clothing and make it into a new piece.  Put some lining in a coat or a patch on a pair of jeans.

Where can you get ideas about fashion from?  Take a look outside, is the wind blowing or do you see snow on the road?  Many things can give you ideas.  Going to the park while you see the children at play, or if you see someone in concert can spark up your creative side.  You can find style in just about anything.  Look at the current time frame that you live in.  Everything changes, certain fashion designs are hot one day and gone the next.  That’s a little bit of history of fashion.
