Inspired By: The 1910s

Fashion in the 1910s can be divided into two separate categories: opulent and simpe. The first half of the decade was characterized mainly by "orientalism" as American and British society were fascinated by Asian culture. The waistline dropped from empire to the natural waist. When WWI hit, the fashion turned more to the necessity of clothing rather than the intrigue of fashion. Women began to wear the hair shorter and, during the war, hemlines started creeping up. It all made way for the new woman of the 1920s.

Fashion in the 1900s slowly represented the evolution from the 19th century to the 20th century. Gone were the bustles and corsets of earlier days and in came slowly shortening hems and men-inspired women fashions. Dresses and shirts were full in the front, accented with ruffles and tiers of fabric.
