Fashion

Fashion art tracked and echoed trends in modern art during the first half of the twentieth century. Emergent artistic trends were evident in the development of fashion design; from the corseted S-curve that reflected Art Nouveau style to the tubular un-corseted images that arrived prior to the First World War, fallowed by the streamlined dresses of the 1930s.

Accessories
Fashion accessories are separate articles that compliment the wearers’ outfit. Their use can add detail to conservative outfits and many have practical applications beyond fashion. Adding different fashion accessories as accent to a single garment can give the impression of a entirely unrelated ensemble.
Garments
Art and fashion were intertwined at the turn of the twentieth century. Artists did not differentiate between fashion designs that would be reproduced upon multiple garments and an original artistic endeavor created in any other medium. Garment designers strived to create fashion art that reflected the developing artistic trends of the new century.
Handbags
Handbags are fashion accessories that have been in use since the Middle Ages. Beaded handbags have been fashionable in North America for more than 200 years and in longer Europe. Prized by collectors and manufacturers alike, the patterns used to craft beaded handbags were secretive and jealously safeguarded.
