A Fashion Timetable
The sartorial genius, James Laver, offers this humorous overview of what we wear, and where it falls into the grand scheme of the world of fashion:
Indecent ... 10 years before its time
Shameless ... 5 years before its time
Daring ... 1 year before its time
Smart ... (present)
Dowdy ... 1 year after its time
Hideous ... 10 years after its time
Ridiculous ... 20 years after its time
Amusing ... 30 years after its time
Quaint ... 50 years after its time
Charming ... 70 years after its time
Romantic ... 100 years after its time
Beautiful ... 150 years after its time
Keep this in mind next time you are going through your closets. :-)
"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."
-Oscar Wilde
