This article talks about how fashion unites culture, economics, and politics.  It states that themes and trends are brought on by political movements.  The major trend ideas this upcoming spring highlight military and victorian styles.  The military look once worn like camouflage capri’s, pants and shirts a few years back will now be more embellished with an icy metallic look.  I believe that this transition has much to do with the war in Iraq.  I think that the average consumer is leaning toward a more brightened and liveliness wardrobe, pushing away from the dark color palates of the war.  Style experts are encouraging a more up to date military approach, not so we forget about the war, but to lean away from a dreary design and mood.  In relation to the war in Iraq, I think that the First World War had much to do with change among women’s styles. Women backed away from the corset and engaged in a more practical wardrobe because of the involvement in the war economy.  During the war major changes in everyday life gave a large approach to a more comfortable style.  For instance the adoption of the suit was constructed for women’s uniforms on the home front.  Overall I believe that war and politics will always have an influence on fashion.

 My post is regarding todays breif discussion on some of the new season’s forthcoming spring fashions in relation to culture, society, and politics. I thought this article was great! Take a look!
