Decades Fashion by Delainey Bitner

Through the decades there have been thousands of fashion trends each year, many of which have shaped the styles of many people in 2022. Since the very beginning fashion has been a reflection of people's culture, personality, life, and many other things. Without many fashion trends of the past, we wouldn’t be where we are now concerning fashion. Many common fashion trends now were actually part of movements, like the mini skirt in the Femist movement. MIni skirts were used as a form of activism and rebellion to represent women's liberation. And The Black Panther Party of the mid 60s and 70s had a uniform of a black leather jacket, black pants, dark sunglasses, and a black beret, which became a symbol of black power.
