Modern style in clothes

Heavy and magnificent clothes were replaced by a new Art Nouveau style; it appeared in the 90s of the 19th century in Europe. It was a kind of transition to something new and easy. Lush, elaborate clothes - not every lady could afford, since it was not cheap pleasure.

Art Nouveau clothing was simpler and without frills, which is why it was cheaper. Although this style did not last long. It ended at the start of World War I.

Paul Poiret was the first to show the world art nouveau clothing. It combines exoticism, and Japanese motifs, and historical echoes, and even Gothic.

The main features of Art Nouveau are:

• flower ornament;
• fitting styles;
• delicate colors;
• the predominance of decor.

Clothing styles emphasize every part of the female body: raised shoulders and an s-shaped silhouette, asymmetric outfits. All this makes the woman feel like a queen. As mentioned above, a huge amount of decor in clothes is:

• ruffles;
• satin ribbons;
• gold braid;
• embroidery;
• lace;
• stones (and even precious);
• floral print;
• metal;
• beads and more.

A little later, the main idea of ​​the style was contact with nature, that is, the inclusion of various ornaments and silhouettes in clothes. Fashion designers wanted to make butterflies or dragonflies out of ladies. The outfits were simple, weightless and incredibly beautiful.

The style continued to develop until it was divided into two branches:

• conservative style;
• reformatory.

For many years, only at that time, people began to think about the fact that clothes should also be comfortable. Just the reformers thought about women's health. If the conservative style included the wearing of corsets, the reformist forbade.But then he opened for women a mini skirt, flared trousers and skirts and spacious dresses. In the end, the conservative style came to naught, and all efforts were thrown to create the greatest comfort.

During the development of this style, another strange direction appears - the suffrage. It was based on the fact that girls should give up elegance and flying dresses. Suffragettes prefer a loose cut in everything and are more like men in this form.

Bright accessories are relevant. With the right choice, it will only make the image more complete. Scarves, veils, and colorful scarves are popular. From jewelry - metal chains, beads.

A lace umbrella is a separate issue. He gives the image of mystery.

Fabrics in those days were not only distinguished by quality, but also by price, it was not as high as in the modern world. Therefore, all the best was used for sewing outfits.

Art Nouveau clothes were made from:

• silks;
• chiffon;
• organza;
• plush
• velvet.

Each fabric is nourished with wealth and luxury. Pastel shades are in great demand. Although popular are colors such as green and pink. Often they choose not a plain fabric, but with a floral print or a bright oriental pattern.

Today, fashion designers combine all these colors with black. Although floral bright prints that combine perfectly with swamp, pink, yellow flowers are also popular. The most common print is geometric. Pierre Cardin demonstrates this in his collections. He emphasizes simplicity in his images.

Oscar de la Renta in the 2012 collection shows people how elegant dresses with straight lines and a free cut can be. The collection was created in classic colors: black and white. But there were also dresses that differed interspersed in different colors: red and green.

Dense things are sewn of hard material, characterized by its strength - rep, taffeta and in some cases velvet. Lighter things - chiffon, silk, muslin.

In the 90s of the 19th century the Art Nouveau style was at the peak of popularity. And today there are ardent fans of this style. For example, the British fashion house McQueen. Fashion designers include all the features of the modernist style in modern clothes and do not lose in their decision.

In the collections you can find the most extravagant things:

• ostrich feather capes;
• crinoline;
• stockings with rhinestones;
• dresses embroidered with stones;
• lush sleeves;
• metal corsets;
• red dresses;
• frill.

Art Nouveau shoes are as unusual as clothes. For example, Versace offers stocking boots and shoes with an elongated rounded toe. Louis Vuitton creates a collection of velvet boots. And Valentino - lace boots that look great on thin legs.

Underwear differs from modern and from what was before modern. There is a transition from tight corsets to spacious trousers and a bra. Basically, for sewing such underwear, they choose a good expensive lace, which not everyone can afford. They begin to sew clothes for the home, explaining this by the fact that a woman should look chic everywhere.

Today, every woman’s wardrobe should have at least one Art Nouveau outfit. Women are very tired of shabby jeans, a low waist and patchwork on their shirts. Therefore, many stop on skirts and dresses of free cut, jackets, standing collars, coats. A skirt-year is a skirt that was made by Paul Poiret and is still fashionable. Mostly put it on for weddings or other holidays.

In the Art Nouveau style, there is a place for classic costumes. A fitted jacket will look great with high trousers.A lace silk blouse can be worn under a jacket. The same blouse is also suitable for a flared skirt.

A lot of people choose Art Nouveau wedding dresses. A modern dress in this style is different from those that were before. Features of a wedding dress in a modern style in clothes of the 21st century:

• metal accessories;
• tight-fitting silhouettes;
• crop tops;
• skirt-top set;
