Costumes – History






For thousands of years clothes have been designed to suit the fashion conscious and for most of that time men’s clothes have been as colorful and elaborate as women’s – and, in some periods, more so. Perhaps man took a leaf out of nature’s book when he discovered that male animals possessed the gayest colors and shapes.

In the 20th century women began to revolt against awkward and uncomfortable fashion, helped by such people as the American dancer, Isadora Duncan, who believed in loose, flowing clothes which allowed her dancers to move freely. For years, men’s clothing has been very sober and the only fashion changes have been small alterations to such things as the width of lapels on jackets, or whether or not trousers should have turn-ups. But recently there has been a revival of interest in men’s fashion and it is beginning to show signs of recapturing its variety and colour.

Now fashion is very improved, you have any doubt just see my picture collections
