My History Fix

the Fun Side of History!

FASHION

Clothing, jewelry, shoes, makeup...
Fashion is a reflection of so many things: societal expectations and restrictions, artistic expression, even advances in technology.
It all adds up to a statement of individual and cultural identity. Fashion is a fun way to compare "then" and "now!"
