This is the first post of mine to introduce my blog:Fashion*Annex. This is the start of my Fashion Souce Book for the my History of 20th Century Fashion Arts class...To me a fashion source book is gathering silhouettes, colors, fabrics, and body types that have led their way through the history of our fashion life cycle. Since fashion changes every six months I believe we will have a lot of ground to cover. During the course of this blog you will be able to see the connections between the fashions of our past with the fashions which are in high demand today. Silhouettes are always recycled in a way which is modern and adaptable to popular female form of today.
Fashion is inspired by nostalgia in many many ways and even though aesthetics change with every decade we are still able to gather ideas from the past and use them to construct garments which are appealing to our times. Fashion is seen as something different in the eyes of many...it is not just a way of putting together an outfit but a way of taking control of our lives and our emotions. To become truly in tune with fashion one needs to open themselves up to the history of fashion in order to understand the well of inspiration which has led the way to the designs of the present and future.
