draft of post 2 adaptation

fashion has been around for centuries. it has evolved from long skirts and corsets in the Victorian era to short skirts and crop tops of the modern day, has the fashion industry been doing in circles and re-using fashion from the past?

The fashion from the 50's in the UK for woman was patterned skirts or dresses used for casual wear as well as for special events. these dresses and skirts were worn below the knee and they flowed. the long skirt was original introduced in the 19th century and re-introduced in the 21st century. in 2014 the long skirt was re-introduced and re-adjusted, by changing the patter,style and taking a few inches from the bottom.

The 60s fashion was all about short dresses and bold colours. these dresses have been adapted still using bright colours but plain, also the style of the dress has been adapted to cutting the sleeves short or having the dress without sleeves.

The 70s fashion was similar to the 60s but they were wider and loose, the colours had been  dulled down and the patterns became more noticeable. nowadays companies such as ASOS use this style of fashion to create an inspired look such as a 70s inspired swing dress or jump suit with wide legs.

The 80s fashion was acid wash jeans and shell suit tracksuits, many people nowadays still wear acid wash jeans that can be worn all year around and the tracksuits have been changed the material is still used but the pattern has changed. bomber jackets are the modern version of these tracksuits.

The 90s to us in the 21st century would seem less weird but the colour was still as bright as the 80s and still not up to modern day fashion standard, could you imagine dressing like cher from clueless or one of the spice girls would be quite weird wouldn't it. but it has been used as inspiration plaid shirts and skirts have been brought back into style.

 modern day fashion is like a cake and all the fashion from the past are ingredient used to make up the fashion of today. we may not notice is but the world of fashion is being used over and over again but changed for a modern twist .
