Nostalgia's Child

Fashion inspires a nostalgic sense of where we came from, where we are going, and where we eventually will arrive. Studying fashion gives one a chance to see a history that comes to life, leaping out from texts and theories and brilliantly leaving a tangible proof of existence. Looking at trends and what is beloved in society mirrors ourselves and others, communicating to us what we value or what we desire.



I found this site recently of someone's dedication to tracing fashion across the ages.

Just click on the period of time that fascinates you the most. I, for the most part, am spell - bound by fashion's endurance throughout history and its place in our lives.
