Activites

Module 2: Activity 1
Estimated Time: 10-15 minutes
Take some time to review what you have learned, then begin looking for trends in each century. Begin with the 19th century fashions influencers; are there any fashion styles that designers are using as inspiration today? If so, give an example of where and which designer has drawn inspiration from 19th century fashion.
Next, move on to the 20th century, do you find that fashion from the roaring ‘20s is repeated anywhere? What about other decades?
Use your imagination when looking for trends, think about costumes and films and do your best to research designers who draw influence from other eras. Remember, there are also avant garde designers who might consider other periods like 1960 or 1980 to be particularly inspiring.

Fashion and history are very much entwined in British culture, and trends that the Royals set often become the norm for the rest of us. For example, Queen Victoria helped popularise the practice of wearing black when in mourning, and the tradition of wearing black to funerals is still widespread because of this.

The early 1990s saw Britain very much influenced by American grunge, but they soon struck back with Britpop, which saw bands such as Blur and Oasis gain worldwide fame, and traditionally British fashions such as Doc Martens shoes, corduroy jackets, and bucket hats came back into style.
