HISTORY OF FASHION: THE 40’ YEARS
These are the years of the second world war, years of great changes, the years where the fashion system lives a true revolution.
The 40′ are characterized by a simple fashion: linear forms, few excesses, practicality and not so elaborate fabrics. The years of Salvatore Ferragamo in Italy, Christian Dior in France, the years of the Pin-Up Girls in the United States.
Immediately after the second world war, the fashion system changes again: the linear forms are still alive, but at the same time, ample skirts, muffs, precious details appear, and seems like a celebration of the femininity with sinuous tailor’s cut attenuating that rigidity that characterized the previous period.
In the wake of the past trends, even today the linear lines appear from the forties, the few excesses and the sobriety, sign of s fashion that is born, grows but never dies.
