1950s Fashion
1950s Decade Study – Source Task
Teenagers were the driving force of fashion in the 1950s. Until the time, clothing trends had been set by the adult market and the way young people dressed was simply set on what the adults wore. As cinema, television and rock ‘n’ roll came into the world, the youth market began to copy the style of stars. The 1950s fashion changed from the restraint conservative dress code to a freer, looser and informal style and therefore having a great impact on Australian culture and what we wear today.
During the 1950’s young women’s fashion was influenced by the rock and roll craze. Long skirts with bright colours became popular for dancing and skirts and pants were pinched at the top
