THE BEST FASHION HISTORY

2. In order to create a certain style, designers use five basic elements: color, shape, fall, texture and line balancing (which
includes all those features of the garment to embellish the silhouette). The options offered by these five factors
designers and couturiers have multiplied over the years. In ancient Egypt, for example, transparent linen was produced,
an ideal fabric for warm weather and enjoyed great popularity. As it was difficult to dye, used to be white, they got
through a bleaching process. The Egyptians were folds in the fabric to create garments with nice drape and silhouette.
Thus was born one of the most enduring styles of history.
In the first century of the Common Era and were available in different types of fabrics and colors. Wealthy Romans
imported silk from India or China, although much more expensive transport fabric that was sold at the same price than

equivalent to three years' wages of an average worker. Thanks to the new dyes and fabrics, the wealthy Roman women
to wear stoles (long and flowing robes) blue cotton from India or yellow silk from China, but from time to time new styles
arose, formerly eras a costly garment would fashion a lifetime. The changes came slowly and usually affect only the
nobility. However, with the advent of the industrial revolution, fashion began to also influence the mode of dress of the
people.
During the nineteenth century wore industries both rich and poor also factories of cotton wool and multiplied, so prices
fell fabrics emerged. The invention of the sewing machine be produced more cheaply, and new synthetic dyes offered a
much wider range of colors.
Social and technological changes facilitated even more people purchase clothes. In Western Europe and North America
had more money to spend. Towards the middle of the nineteenth century, women's magazines were published, and
shortly thereafter, department stores began selling clothes clothing standard sizes. In the same century, Charles
Frederick Worth first organized fashion shows in order to attract the interest of potential customers.
The emergence in the twentieth century, new synthetic fibers such as rayon, nylon and polyester offered manufacturers
a choice of more varied tissues. The computer-aided design facilitated the creation of new styles, and globalization
made ​​it possible for the most recent trends were observed simultaneously in the streets of Tokyo, New York, Paris and
São Paulo. At the same time, designers and manufacturers have found new ways to promote their products.

where the woman is. Likewise are used to give a serious image or dial elegance., Is a
garment that has a great communicative value until there are real, political and social
protocols.

4. The jeans pants are made ​​with a fabric called denim quite sturdy cotton or denim. Often the term
"jean" refers to a particular style of pants called "blue jeans" and invented by Jacob Davis and Levi
Strauss in 1873 Beginning in the 1950s, jeans, originally designed cowboys and miners , popular

Jeans are now a very popular item of casual dress around the world. They come in many styles and
colors; However, jeans are particularly identified with American culture, especially the American Old

5. The shirts (T-shirt) have a history that few know. Begins in World War II when American soldiers saw
the Europeans used light cotton shirts to absolve sweat while they were sweating in their woolen
uniforms.
During WWII the Americans adopted as standard underwear for the army and Navy UNITED STATES.
Although the shirt was formally underwear, soldiers often used it without a shirt to cover it while doing
heavy work or while they were placed in locations with very hot weather and her fame and its use was
expanding. After WWII the shirt started appearing without a shirt to cover it in civilian life. In New York,
during the 1948 presidential campaign, Thomas E. Dewey I use the words "Dew It for Dewey", which
was followed in 1952 by the shirts that read "I Like Ike" in support of the campaign Dwight D.

Surely you all the phrase is known that a gentleman worth his salt in the presence of ladies
should never be in shirtsleeves, well, it was precisely that reason, it was like staying naked

events.
In the late nineteenth century, the white shirts were always a sign of distinction, interestingly the
reason was not a seasonal fashion but something much more practical. The aristocracy and
wealthy people could wash it often and keep it clean, something not as we imagine for the
people who worked from dawn to dusk. For this reason, much used by detachable collars since it
was the only part that was taught and thus could be exchanged without having to wash all the
undergarment.
. Once they began to appear the first shirts with darker colors or stripes, the
upper classes, were still in white collars and cuffs, a sign of distinction and
difference manifests. The shirts despite the passage of time have actually
changed little, varying fashion, mainly neck size. We ended up with
