If you read the post about fashion in the fabulous forties you'll remember Dior's New Look with long length skirts, wasp waists and an overall very feminine and opulent look. In the fifties women all around the globe started adapting his look, so the term "nifty fifties" is quite appropriate I think.

The fabulous forties were a very interesting decade because World War II had such a tremendous impact on fashion. It is true that social trends dictate fashion, and so you can imagine that WWII changed the world of fashion forever. Basically, to keep it simply, we can say that during the war simplicity was very much forced upon women, I'm talking about Lilihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11174913359749251098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-538075501622626963.post-56444975217036722232011-08-26T20:18:00.001+02:002011-08-27T17:48:46.594+02:00Fashion Time Travel Series : Stylish ThirtiesAlright people, we just landed in the stylish thirties, our second part of the Fashion Time Travel series (if you wanna go back to the roaring twenties' fashion, click here)!

Today I was looking at one of my favourite blogs, Vixen Vintage, and I suddenly realised I really wanted to do a fun fashion time travel blogpost. That's a mouthful there haha. It probably sounds more complicated than it is, really. I just really want to do several posts about early fashion beginning from the roaring twenties to the golden sixties. What do you think?

Her passing away after reaching the age of 84 (not bad I say) means the world has lost yet another great fashion icon who inspired the world of couture.

Levi's has made a weird move by coming forward with their new European ad campaign.
I thought they would've at least waited before releasing this new ad campaign untill the riots in London would've subdued because it features a somewhat menacing imagery of young people gathering, marching and confronting riot police, along with shots of stuff on fire.
Clearly not.

Vincent Cassel, to me, looks like some post-modern kind of Dracula in this commercial.
