Unravelling tailoring history. part 3- 1990


Looking at the 1990s
Less became more. The art of minimalism was much appreciated in the 90s. It had become apparant that the silhouette had become neater as shoulder pads finally died and the execssive flashy jewelry has been taken away.
The only real glitz in the 1980s, was probably the subtle but new iridescent shimmer on sheer fabrics that went through the skin make up and hair spray.
Sometimes a major silhouette would be associated with a decade.
The 1990s, began with short fitted jackets. One of the first new different silhouette was the 1991-2 fingertip length straghter, longer line narrower jacket. It was occasionally worn over a knee length skirt, or pleated skirts.
