Women’s fashions: year by year: 1949-1980
Year by year images of women’s fashions, 1949-1980, with 4 frames per year – more or less arbitrary selection- pics not in any chronological order within each year.
The music is ‘Aphrodite’ by Alessandro Carabelli (details at All About Jazz website)
WARNING!
1/Ideally, a slide show like this should be put together by someone with some credentials in, or a wide knowledge of, fashion history (rather than a mild interest)- but I did it anyway. I like the way the images convey the passing of years and decades.
2/ To the best of my knowledge (!) all images were published in the year shown – except that of the hippie girl in 1968b, which I believe is a later watercolour rendition of a pic of someone who attended a concert in Hyde Park, London, in that year. Ive had to try and judge which sources to trust for dates of post 1960 pattern illustrations and several individual scans.
3/Images should be seen as picked at random from each year and jumbled up within a year.
The 4 frames per year do not represent any chronological order. Because fashion seasons begin in spring and autumn it is possible that things like
Year A (all Dec pics)
Year B (all Jan pics)
Year C (all Dec pics)
(meaning situations where 2 consecutive years containing one season are followed by 3 seasons being skipped before the images for the next year) could happen but blind chance makes it unlikely.
Besides the hippie girl in 1968b, there are 2 other non-contemporary images: the mannequins from the Bath costume museum, at 1963a(rh) and 1970b(lh).

http://www.FTV.com/videos NEW YORK – The models at the Tracy Reese show are relaxing backstage, getting ready for a final rehearsal, and laughing and joking with their peers. Models like Kasia Wrobel are walking for the designer herself and she looks on and gives her take. Later, models get glittery pink lids and curled hair. Before the show is about to start, Tracy Reese poses with actress Gabrielle Union, who will sit in the front row.

Hi everyone! I know, summer’s almost over, but this video is for a project I’ve been working on for quite a while. Also, many of these summer trends can be transitioned into the fall! ALSO, I will be having a Fall 2011 Look Book up very soon, so be on the lookout for that!
