Were the designers all or predominately men back in the Victorian era as well as later?<BR/><BR/>For some reason - ah, wedding dresses, that's what reason - I was thinking of the hellish device - the bustle (of which remains when it comes to many wedding dresses) - wondering what on earth would prompt a fashion that obnoxious - can you imagine sitting? <BR/><BR/>Then, Southern Belles passing out - add all that clothing on top of corsets cinching to 18" waists and oppressive heat and of course one would pass out - why? <BR/><BR/>Why nylons and pantyhose?<BR/><BR/>Why bras, which originally came out with points on the ends? Wasn't the bra invented by a man? A man who invented harnesses for his sex toys? Ya, that's saying it hard, I know, I know.<BR/><BR/>I know this is not exactly where you were going with your so wonderfully articulated post - - I have egotistically ran off with my thoughts on fashion - which are that the object of female fashion is to make sure the "little" woman stay in "her place" - not threatening nor powerful, definitely not. <BR/><BR/>The softening of the clothing and the dropping necklines were a relief I'm sure from the Victorian times where one was too buttoned and trussed and, well - - oppressed.<BR/><BR/>Yet, then what about the period in fashion where men wore powdered wigs and high heels?<BR/><BR/>What you are saying is that women's fashion is a reflection of cultural and social norms of the times, am I getting that right? I am not sure I understand - I would like to better understand how art influences, or does it merely reflect, or is it that perhaps fashion is a reflection of art? I guess I better go to that link and read, huh?Gardeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233358355888022857noreply@blogger.com
