  • Exploring Social Patterns in the Renaissance Through Fashion

    1140 Words  | 3 Pages

    Fashion reflects the attitudes of a society more than any other art form. Like art, fashion is a material record of the ideals that swayed the nations at the time of their creation. Through examining the styles, and tastes of a particular era, we can realize where the interests and priorities of a time lie. As Frank Parsons wrote in his 1920 study, The Psychology of Dress, "There is surly no better field in which to trace the devious paths of human thought than in that of clothes, where man has ever given free play to self expression, in a way which, thought not always a credit to his intelligence, is yet quite true to his innermost self, whether he will acknowledge it or not." Through, tracing and analyzing, side by side, art and fashion, and the effects that one had on the other and society, we can understand the ideals, and interests of European culture, here, through the Renaissance.

    The world famous designer and fashion icon Coco Chanel once said “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, and what is happening.” Fashion is something that has evolved multiple times and is also something that has stood the test of time since the very beginning. It’s something that effects society from things like people’s first impressions of what they assume about you to defining your social class from the wealthier to the not so wealthy. Fashion itself is a reflection of social, economic, political and cultural changes. It expresses modernity, symbolizing the spirit of the times. "Fashion is the most powerful art there is.

  • Who Is Edward Steichen: The Evolution Of An Artistic Photographer

    1768 Words  | 4 Pages

    He changed the style of Vogue by exposing modernism to the magazine and the world through commercial photography. Steichen brought “a sharper edge to his strategy of playing simple elegant lines against the dramatic geometric backgrounds and had the ability to achieve a modernist refinement through simplicity, linearity, geometry, and tonal contrast”(Brandow,239). Though Steichen didn’t invent fashion photography, an argument can be made that he created the template for the modern fashion photographer. Steichen was viewed by his peers as a perfectionist. Howard Schatz, a photographer whose portraits of famous actors appear in Vanity Fair stated, “His precise eye for lighting and design makes his pictures from the 20s and 30s, though clearly of their time, still much admired by fashion photographers today”. Steichen’s sharp attention to detail and “designing with his camera” brought sharp focus to bear and had a tremendous effect on the field. Steichen’s new modernist style is evident in his image of Dancer and Choreographer Desiree Lubovska Wearing a Dress of Georgett Crepe by Patou taken in 1925. In this image “The dancer stands against a simple background divided into vertical and horizontal rectangles by architectural elements. The deep shade of her dress contrasts with the lighter color of the wall behind her, drawing attention to the model and fashion” (Brandow, 239). These photographic elements are what strengthened Steichen’s success in his commercial photography career. He became one of the most sought after photographers of his time. Many advertising companies also wanted him to do campaigns for them. From 1923-1937, he was a chief photographer for Conde Nast Publications, shooting crisp, high-contrast photographs. (Karen Rosenberg, New York Times, 1). In 1928, Steichen did an advertising campaign for Douglas Lighter. He used the angularity of the

    The future of women’s fashion is uncertain—in that shock value is harder to come by with each passing year. There is a concept in fashion that nothing is new, everything has been done before. This theory is coming closer to obvious reality, as fashion shows of recent years have visual throwbacks as late as the Victorian era. Although the direction is not yet decided, it is almost definite that women will use fashion as an important tool for expression and freedom in the future.
