Fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-thoughts-on-the-100-years-of-style-in-100-seconds-video#post-419608 Sat, 10 Sep 2011 01:12:46 +0000 chewyspaghetti 419608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that they do period appropriate dances, too. Such a neat video! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-thoughts-on-the-100-years-of-style-in-100-seconds-video#post-419516 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 22:29:17 +0000 catgirl 419516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just watched it - how clever and fun! The 80s don't come off well. I still think my decades are 20s and 60s, but I'm liking the 40s too. I wish I could slow it down a bit for my aging eyeballs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-thoughts-on-the-100-years-of-style-in-100-seconds-video#post-419509 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 22:18:27 +0000 Charmian 419509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved that video too! There were lot of really toughtful and subtle touches, such as when the man disappears for a few seconds to represent WWII. Also, I swing dance, so watching how the clothing was reflected in the dance style (and vice versa) was super fun to watch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-thoughts-on-the-100-years-of-style-in-100-seconds-video#post-419293 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 17:36:25 +0000 Aziraphale 419293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have become obsessed with this youTube video, which I'm sure everyone has seen by now but here's the link just in case:</p> <p><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2035110/Now-thats-fast-fashion-Couple-model-100-years-style-100-seconds.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/fem.....conds.html</a></p> <p>I've watched it about thirty times, and I have some thoughts to share.</p> <p>1. Hats! They were such an integral part of street fashion. But now they're rarely worn. Is anyone else sad about that? Like hairstyles, they can transform your face, and they add that finishing touch to an outfit. Up until the forties, would any of those ladies' outfits look the same without the hat? I particularly love cloche hats.</p> <p>2. Isn't this a brilliant demonstration of how clothing can alter the appearance and proportions of the body? That girl is tall, slender and athletic-looking, but see how much shorter she appears when wearing the early-century mid-calf skirts? She looks elegant and lovely, but not nearly as tall. And look at the 90s grunge wear! Those rolled-up pants with ankle socks make her legs look half as long. Then look at how impossibly long her legs look in modern skinny jeans and platforms. Amazing. It's validation for all Angie's posts on getting hem lengths right.</p> <p>3. I was so focused on the girl's clothing that I didn't even notice what the boy was wearing until I'd watched the video about ten times, but the men's fashions are fascinating, too. </p>
