Fashion in 1950s to 1960s
In the
years following the second world war is distinguish by the rebirth of the haute
couture after all the austerity of the war years.
Square shoulders and short
skirts were replaced by the soft femaleness of Christian Dior’s new look
silhouette , with it sweeping longer
skirts, fitted waist and rounded shoulders , which gave an unfitted ,structural
look in the1950s.
Improvement in the textile technology following the war were
seen in the new synthetic fabrics and
easy care fabric finishes that fixed in the suburban lifestyle of the 1950s
with its highlighting on casual sportswear for man and woman.
For the first
time teenagers became a strength in fashion.
In 1947
fashion houses in Paris had reopened, and Paris took back his position as the top of high fashion.
A sequence of style
trends led by Christian Dior and
Cristobal Balenciaga sharped the changing silhouette of women clothes during
the 1950s.
Television and movies joined the fashion magazine in publicizing
clothes styles. A result of the after war was an abundance of synthetic fabrics
and easy care processes. Nylon, orlon, Dacron which could contain heat-set plates after washing, started to
become popular and acrylic, polyester, triacetate and spandex were introduced
in 1950s.
Social changes went hand to hand with the new economics reality , and
one of the results was the many young people that would have become wage
earners early in their youth stayed at home and dependent at their parents
through high school and after, starting the idea of the teenage as a separate
stage of development.
Previously teenagers dressed in the same way as their
parents, but now an uncontrollable and differ youth style was coming. During
the war New York became an American
designing center and remained so, especially for sport. The women’s that had worn trouser
during the war time refused to leave this garment which was appropriate for the
informal aspects of the after war lifestyle.
Casual sportswear was a
growing in the women’s wed robes.
In
1950s skirts turn out to be narrow and worn ankle-length.
Pants collected
to mid-calf were homeboy pants; short pants, below the knee, were called
pedal-pushers.
Shoes were
narrom, with tapering toes and high heel.
