The Victorian Era
1837–1901
From crinolines to bustles - six decades of dramatic, rapidly-shifting silhouettes.
-
The 1930s
1930–1939
Bias-cut satin and Hollywood glamour on one side, Depression-era house dresses on the other - the decade the waist came back and the hemline dropped.
-
The 1940s
1940–1949
Coupons, square shoulders, and make-do-and-mend - a decade dressed by war rationing, right up until Dior's New Look tore up the rulebook in 1947.
-
The 1950s
1950–1959
The New Look's afterglow, the wiggle dress, and the birth of teen fashion.
-
The 1960s
1960–1969
A decade that started in Jackie Kennedy's structured Camelot elegance and ended in Woodstock tie-dye - mod miniskirts and Space Age futurism in between.
-
The 1970s
1970–1979
From bohemian maxi dresses to disco and the first stirrings of punk - the decade fashion stopped agreeing on a single silhouette.
-
The 1980s
1980–1989
Padded shoulders and power suits, aerobics-studio spandex, and prom-night excess - the decade fashion got loud, structured, and unapologetically maximalist.
