PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Art Nouveau translates to New Art and was aimed at
modernizing design, seeking to escape the historical
styles that had been popular in years prior. From the
1880s until the First World War, western Europe and the
United States witnessed the development of Art
Nouveau.
Artists drew inspiration from both organic and geometric
forms. They gravitated towards hues such as muted
greens, browns, yellows, and blues. Taking inspiration
from the unruly aspects of the natural world, Art
Nouveau influenced art and architecture especially in the
applied arts, graphic work, and illustration.

The Space Age trend began in the mid-to-late
’60s with designers like Courrèges, Rabanne,
and Pierre Cardin, who were inspired by the
global space race. The Soviets landed in 1959,
and Buzz Aldrin took his historic first step ten
years later. Andre Courréges is thought to be
the Godfather of space age fashion; notably
employing geometric shapes into his 1960s
silhouettes and being the first designer to
incorporate plastics and PVC into his works.

The early 80s were somewhat subdued in color, where we see a lot browns and tans and
oranges. Blocky shapes were everywhere and velour was hot, velvet was even hotter. For
both men and women, the waistline was a little high. In 1983 there was a slight 1950s-style
throwback, especially in women’s dresses.
The club kids created a movement that would forever influence the face of fashion, art and
popular culture. They created a space in which the disenfranchised youth of 1980’s New
York; gay, queer, transgender, non-binary and different could experience a feeling possibly
unfelt during the day; freedom. Club kids were known for their wild ensembles, which drew
inspiration from punk, S&M, and clown styles. Often homemade or assembled from thrift-
store items, the outfits were unique and bold expressions of identity.
“That was part of the ethos of the day. You were a legend in your own mind. Everyone was a
star, and everyone could be a star. All you had to do was throw some glitter on,” Glam said.

In the 2010s, fast fashion from Japan and elsewhere
becomes widespread. A ‘super mix’ fashion arises,
merging three major aspects of street fashion—street style
, gyaru style, and the konsaba or more conservative style.
The result is a ‘sweet’ style that is both kawaii and fairly
fashionable. A shift took place after the Great East Japan
Earthquake on March 11, 2011, as people place more
importance on finding a way of life that is uniquely their
own and rethinking what is important to them. The
striking Harajuku style captures the imaginations of
people all over the world. Typified by its colorful
theatricality and quirky character themes, it’s the creative,
funky style we all wish we had the guts to wear.
