Designers and labels, Trends
Fashion trends originated from France as many countries looked to them for styles, fabrics, and details in the fashion world. Many people in the 1700's only owned a few fashion pieces; two to four dresses or suits was quite normal for people in these days.
Women's Fashion: With men taking it up a notch with their fashion statements and trends, women began to get more and more elaborate, detailed and extravagant with their trends. They wanted their dresses bigger, wider and their hair taller. Their fabrics were fine, expensive and very detailed. Here's a fun fact, the women's dresses were so wide that the arm rest of chairs even had to be removed so women could sit down!
