The 1950's..
Britain now was becoming a different kind of society, a consumer society. Viewing now in fashion, bravery and contriversy. 50's to now show, the modern, the new and the contrast is always made that it played an important role in lead to the rebelliousness of the 60's. social change and individuality in the 50's show the beginning of rock and roll, effecting fashion dramatically. Clothes played a centeral role, for these were the decades when fashion came to the fore. For the first time, fashion for all became a reality.
There was a touch me not remoteness in many of the fashion images from the 50's. It proves to me that the fifties wasno doubt a previous expression and beginning to the attitude of what fashion and what social change  occurred in the sixties. The makeup became heavier and the youth would wear such feminine formal wear to look almost in their thirties. Skirts were still calve length however pencil slim. Being this shape all styles would be so hard to feel comfotable. It was just to flatter shape and appeal to men of the time, as this was how women were ment to be visualised. Showing these times through the fashion concious, with dress, makeup and hair. The 50's repeatidly had the image of the perfect domesticated women. For example the pin up girls character within art and media.  (girl holding the broom in the image) Many still had the opinion that women 'ought' to stay at home, although relaity was many more women had a work place as womens rights were arising.
