HISTORY OF MODERN AMERICAN CLOTHES
In America, during the first part of the 20th century, there was little excitement regarding elegance in clothing.
The largest part of the population – «the genuine Americans»- followed the styles set by Paris with men’s starched collars and cuffs, and women’s long skirts and large, forward-sweeping enormously expensive hats. The corset forced the bosom forward and the hips back, thereby producing what became known as «the kangaroo stand» or «S-style».

Seldom was the upper-class clothing so affluent, respectable and completely impractical!
Before World War II a new style in the whole story of fashion began to show up. It could be called the start of modern fashion – with the concept of the natural figure as the basic one. The fall of the corset and the adoption of the brassier were proclaimed.
After the War in 1947 «the New Look» with long, full skirts came.
It was Christian Dior who launched that famous collection in Paris, having established himself as a couturier on November 15, 1946.
The old wartime line with its square shoulders was changed by the new shape. Dior meant that shape to be an escape from a «poverty-stricken era.16» With this purpose he designed clothes for «flower-like women» with rounded, unpadded shoulders, full, feminine busts and hand-span waists above enormous spreading skirts.
To create up -to-date clothes of that kind he used elaborate workmanship and great expertise: they were lined with cambric or taffeta, were beautiful in detail, and were created by methods which were in part new and in part a return to old techniques long since forgotten.
Dior aimed at the established, mature clientele, but youth was attracted to that fashion revolution. «Thus the New Look became symbolic of youth and the future,» – he said.
The instant success of the spring 1947 collection brought Dior an Oscar and the invitation to go to America.
He made up his mind to go and to present his «crazy collection» there. American manufacturers saw the Dior show walking on air, and plunged into the production of New Look clothes. The public demand was instantaneous!
The adoption of the new style had however, created a storm of protest in America, and a ban was imposed on the manufacture of the Paris model.
In the single decade of his reign the Dior empire grew by leaps and bounds, until it covered nearly every country in the Western world – nearly every area of fashion and fashion accessories, including furs, fabric, stockings, jewellery, perfumes and so on.
By 1950 little by little America became a greater influence with its casual and sports clothes. Americans wanted less formal, more functional clothes and they got them.
As the 1960-s arrived, the American style became a world style adapted to a large audience. Blue jeans became a worldwide fad. Among the jeans widely worn are «Levi’s», heavy blue denim pants that are reinforced at the strain points with copper rivets5. They came from Levi Strauss of San Francisco, the pioneer overall manufacturer who began his business in the Golden Rush Days.
Trousers and pants gave way to slacks; and women picked out pants of all lengths and descriptions for casual wear.
It is interesting to note that in the United States there had always been «democracy» in clothes.
Visitors from Europe always remark that in America you can’t tell person’s class by the way he or she is dressed.
