Recommended: Early 20th century art

I went to the Orange Gallery in the Avenir Museum, it was a gallery of the color orange in fashion throughout the decades. There were garments of each decade from the 20th century and there were multiple shades of orange. The color orange not only impacted fashion but also impacted science, art, sports, and advertisement. In the 1920’s the fashion was known as loose fitting clothes that had a straight fit, this was no different when talking about the color orange. The dresses were all pretty straight and a lot of the garments had little ruffles that added some detail. More specifically one of the 20 ’s dress was called dancing dress which was sleeveless with short hems and dropped waists. Something that was very interesting in the 20’s section

    New fashions were surfacing in both men’s and women’s fashions. Men were wearing Bermuda pants, baggy pants that were cut off at the knee, while women were wearing capris, tight pants that cut off just below the knee. Men were wearing tailored jackets and making a slight move towards the casual dress of today’s workplace. Women were wearing natural shoulders as opposed to the heavily padded ones of the war years. Flat, neck-hugging collars replaced the mannish collars of the late 1940’s. Waists were tightly fitted and skirts were long (Melinkoff 46). The jeans of the time were often lined with plaid flanel and dungarees were worn to the most casual occasions. The sandals of the fifties were not much different than the sandals of today.

    The 1920s began the evolution of Canadian social lifestyles, particularly in the fashion and entertainment aspects. Women across the nation began to dress more boldly and appealing, breaking the stereotypical dress code that has been passed down for centuries. Short Skirts, bob cut, sparkling jewelries, high heels, and colourful makeup was a leading trend in high-class women.

    Female attire tended to fall into two categories: tailored suits and ball dresses, reflecting the way of life for the more wealthy. During this time, dresses tended to extend out in the shape of a bell where the end of the skirt was flared. To further describe how these dresses appeared, in an essay by James Laver, he remarks, “It is impossible to put a photograph of a fashionable woman of 1895 beside a photograph of a lamp of the same period without being struck by their close resemblance in every detail. The unmistakable sweep of the Art Nouveau line was completely parallel in the dresses of the time, in particular by the fall and swirl of the skirt.” The characters Gwendolen and Cecily are wearing ball dresses like the ones described in the Victorian era in my sketch. Their dresses are shown to be tighter in the waste (flattering their body shape) and become much wider toward the end. On the shoulders of the dresses, it fluffs up to add a decorative

  • Vintage Garment Analysis Essay

    On the twenty-first of August, our Wearable History class took a trip to downtown Bowling Green, to visit Mosaic Confinement Studio. The studio had an old-fashioned vibe, and was like a vintage-garment haven. There, we were asked to choose a piece that we thought was vintage, identify the time period it actually came from, and also take some additional notes on the style and the garment’s details. After searching through multiple racks, the first piece I found was a lace blazer. It turned out to only be vintage-inspired, so I went searching again. I came across a few other pieces, but nothing was really jumping out at me. Eventually, I came across a lavender dress that immediately made me think of Julia Roberts in “Mystic Pizza”, and I knew I found my garment.

    The Colored Museum was a very forward, driven, and provocative play that used themes of race, representation, and history to create an insightful and entertaining display of African American history and struggles. The play was a collection of vignettes and characters that did not necessarily create a narrative for one particular character. This instead created and conveyed the narrative of an entire people that we are able to gather through these various episodes. Each episode or exhibit displays a differing moment and aspect of African American culture in time. These exhibits are often played in a comedic way and through that the viewer gains a sense of the underlying absurdity and cruelty of the history being presented.
