Did you know that in the 1950's the style for woman was what we call "paper doll silhouette"? How unique is that! The "House Wife" was a great look! Today we have the stepford wives movie, deperate housewives, and even the realhousewives (NJ, DC, OC, Atlanta!)- so who says that this style isn't back and here to stay???
Being a modern day woman- we try hard to not look like a "stepford wife" or the generalized wife look. We have held ourselves to a level of independence which includes fitted "power" clothing- even if in the kitchen. We have so much freedom to express our indiviuality! Women can look hippie chic (My Favorite), preppy, modern, futureistic, rock and roll, polished or just plain YOU!
So does this mean that as a modern day woman in the 21st century that we need to let go on the "wife chic" of the 50's? Heck no. Now we can spice it up the paper doll silhouette with leather pumps, grommetted belts and splashes of bright color. We now can take the "wife dressing" and bring this look into the 21st century! 2010 is the year for vintage- with a modern twist.
Anne Fogarty had class & style and now we can bring this classic look back. No matter what figure you have- you can accent your narrow waste or your thin legs with the this full skirt look. You can make it evening wear or day wear.
Did you know that in the 1950's only 3 million americans had a tv set? By 1954 HALF of the American population had televsion sets. 1950's was a time for fads- that STUCK!
Take a look at some interesting fashion facts of the 50's!
