  1. Fashion Cycles: What Goes Around Comes Back Around?

  2. Why This Topic? • I am an enthusiastic textile student. • I have a particular interest in Fashion. • I soon found out that not many people, especially of our age, were aware that fashion is influenced by previous eras.

  3. Findings: • Fashion trends originate from fashion designers. • Trends stem from cues and inspiration which often include cultures, celebrities, music, politics, nature etc. • These designs are showcased by high-end designers which are then are adopted by smaller designers who create affordable designs for the mass market. • Today’s fashion is particularly influenced by the 1960’s.

  4. Tie-Dye T-shirts: Pictured in Woodstock 1969.

  5. Chelsea Boots: Previously fashioned by the Beatles.

  6. The Pixie Cut: Previously fashioned by Audrey Hepburn.

  7. The Harrington Jacket: “Rodney Harrington” in the television series Peyton Place – Actor Ryan O’Neil.

  8. Results from Questionnaires: • I distributed 20 questionnaires to a mixture of age groups. • 70% of the subjects do not feel that fashion is influenced by previous eras. • 70% of the people surveyed are in fact influenced by the trends within high-street stores. • 100% of the subjects admitted that they shop within popular high street stores. • 90% claim that they follow the trend of present day fashion. • Everyone in the age category of 46+ believe that fashion trends are influenced by previous eras.

  9. My Artefact: • A series of Tie-dye t-shirts. • I was keen to acquire a new creative skill. • Felt it was a true representation of how the 1960’s fashion has influenced the fashion of today.

  10. The History of Tie-Dye: • Tie-dye was brought to America during the hippie movement – a youth movement that advocated sexual revolution, psychedelic rock and Protested the Vietnam War. • It was an escape from the strict social norm of the 1950’s. • Though, it was not the brainchild of American Hippies. • Traditional methods were formed in India, Japan, and Africa in the sixth century – practiced in methods known as Bandhani and Shabori.

  11. Conclusions: • It was confirmed that not many people are aware of repeated fashion trends – especially those within younger generations. • I found the true source of new fashion trends and where they begin.

  12. Problems: • The biased nature of questionnaires – individuals often answer what they think is the correct answer, rather than their own opinions. • It could be deemed that I have limited data due to the narrow audience for the distribution of the questionnaires.
