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

    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.

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.

    1173 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the 1920's the term flapper referred to a "new breed" of women. They wore short skirts and dresses which were straight and very loose. The arms were left bare and the waistline was dropped to the hips. By 1927 the length of the skirts had rose just below the knee which when they danced would be shown. The chests appeared to look very small and women would tape themselves to look even smaller. Bras were also sold to make them appear very small. Their hairstyles were cut very short and were known as a bob, another popular style that was later introduced was the "Eaton" or "Shingle". These styles had slicked the hair back and covered the ears with curls. Women started wearing "kiss proof" lipstick in shades of red, their eyes were ringed a dark black color, and their skin was powered to look very pale. One of the big things with the flappers were that they smoked cigarettes through long holders and drank alcohol openly in public now. They also started dating freely and danced all night long very provocatively. Jazz music was rising in population and the flappers brought it out even more. Not all women changed into becoming a flapper, yet the little numbers impacted the 1920's in a huge way.

    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.
