American history is inseparable from American style. Fashion reflects each era’s social, political, and economic forces. This detailed presentation tracks the decades from 1900 on. Whether we’re talking about the Victorian age, 1930s' Hollywood glamour, the start of teen fashions in the 50s', the 60s' upheavals, or how 80s' glitz led to Grunge, fashion provides a distinctive lens to examine profound changes. This is living history, sure to complement your coursework.
