Fashion: Advance or response?

As art, fashion responded to a latent need, or when there is an exceptional talent, anticipated the spirit of the upcoming season.

In 1914, when despite the war women were wrapped in sophisticated meters and meters of lace with the stamp of Worth, an unknown designer hats, Coco Chanel, he designed a new woman, free movement, with shorter skirts bags inspired by the seafaring clothes, high-necked sweaters and fabrics that are then considered rustic "style will poor people" seduced the world.
Second World War when the line was dominant austere, quasi-military, with large shoulder pads and Zapatón with thick cork soles, Dior perceived need for luxury, refinement, and responds with its new look: highly bound waists, long skirts and wide much satin and velvet, shoes with big buckles strass. It was not a revolution, but a brilliant response.

Today, fashion reflects the uncertainty of our entire culture. The jean universalizes and depersonalized in equal measure. And in the absence of a line that defines the trend of the times, the designers blended ancient hippie naiveté proposals ethnic and shoes online in 1930 and camperones leather shorts. As a result, people no longer looking for prestige in a personal style: simply buying brand.

It is possible that a creator is still unknown and an emerging synthesis that defines the era. Meanwhile, those who admire pure lines and bold color or design, were more yellow and a violet sari Hindu or the simplicity of Chinese clothing lines, closed at the neck and with a clever pit side. Well, after all, Paris and Rome and even the nostalgic New York and Woody Allen are part of the past. And the emerging empires are the oldest: India and China.
