Fashion The Twentieth Century (The 90's)

Summary
The Nineties fashion carries on to what individuals wear today. The Nineties look focuses mostly on functionalism rather than "fashion" itself. All the looks have come more universalized, anyone from anywhere can wear the same clothing. According to the Fashion, Th Twentieth Century book, originality in the 1990's to now is extreamly low. In the book it says "Calvin Klein advertisments proclaim "Be Yourself" and yet the company's huge success lies in selling identical T-shirts to the same social groups all of the world". This quote is a prime example about how the author feels about the new style of clothing. In the past fashion was all about originality...it was a celebration, but now its all about money and buisness.


Reaction
I agree with what the author is saying about societies clothing today. I feel like there is no originality anymore, they is no beauty and uniqueness to people's clothing because everyone looks the same. Even in school all the students look the same. They all have on the same skinney jeans, same designer shirt, same sneakers/sandals. Everyone basically is a copy of another person in another color. I wish that society could have more freedom in the clothes that they wear like they had back in the 80's.
