died.

By 1914, women's clothing had lost the rigid, tailored lines
of the Edwardian period, and the styles of fashion's first great
design genius, Paul Poiret, obliterated the need for wearing
tight fitting corsets.
Shortly before the outbreak of World War I, fashion had takenon a whole new look based on Orientalism with its soft
drapery, and bold prints. The lines of Russian peasant costume
appeared in hip length tunics, a style that lasted throughout
the war years.
During the war, as men went off to fight, women took on jobs
formerly filled by men. Women and girls who previously
worked as domestic servants took on jobs in munitions
factories, performed administrative work, took work as
drivers, nurses, and farm workers. They volunteered for
organizations like the Red Cross, and joined the military.
Many of the occupations demanded the wearing of uniforms,
including trousers. A military look crept into fashion designs as
well with military style tunic jackets, belts, and epaulets.

British Women's Land Army Poster A new image of freedom and self respect led
women away from traditional gender roles.
They drove cars and demanded the right to
vote.
Before the war, Paris led the world of fashion.But due to the privations of war, and loss of
communication between the US and Europe,
New York emerged as a fashion leader with new
designs based on a combination or femininity
and practicality.During World War I, people took to a plainer
lifestyle. Women stopped wearing jewelry, and
the lavish clothing of the Edwardian period fell
by the wayside. As women dressed for new
roles, gender dictated dress codes relaxed.
Skirts became shorter, as they often do during
wartime and colors became sober and muted.

Dating the Clothing Styles of theWorld War I Era
1914 began with a strong E
dwardian silhouette. Women wore long, narrow
skirts that fell to the top of the foot, along with lacy shirtwaists. But the tunic
effect introduced by Paul Poire, based on a Russian peasant look, came toblend with the military style tunic worn during the Great War.
At the end of the Edwardian period, Paul Poiret, introduced, the jup colot for
evening wear - a high waisted n tunic style dress worn with harem pants. As
the world entered war, women were offered more tailored versions of the look
which included military details along with checks and stripes.
Jeanne Paquine, the first woman to gain international fame in the world of
fashion, created garments for the new, more active woman. Her version of the
hobble skirt (a narrow skirt that restricted a woman's stride) included pleats
for ease of movement. Her fashion designs mixed tailoring with femimine
drapery.

19141919 fashion
The spring of 1914 saw a new fashion trend called the war
crinoline which featured a bell shaped skirt and a wide over skirt.
The season also offered sloped shoulders and wide collars. But
the use of so much fabric was soon viewed as wasteful duringwartime and critics called for more conservative use of cloth.
In 1915, hemlines rose to mid-calf and traditionalists complained
of immodesty.
By 1918, skirts grew narrow again and hemlines fell to below the
calf.1919 saw longer dresses with clean lines and a normal waist.

1918s -Roaring 20s
In 1911, the fashion show was a new phenomenon. Previously,
designers had worked with individual clients to create new
combinations of style, cut, and the fabrics used in the creation
of fashionable clothing for a more personalized look.Paul Poiret's 1911 traveling fashion show appeared at charity
benefits, theaters, and department stores. He took his show to
the US in 1913. Soon, other designers followed suit.
In 1913, a New York film company documented a twice yearly
show, offering a look at couture to the masses. Before the
advent of fashion models, actresses, singers, and dancers
modeled the clothing.
During World War I, fashion shows were organized to help raise
funds for the war effort. And in 1914, Edna Woolman Chase, the
editor ofVogueput on a fashion show to display the work of
New York designers.Led by Paul Poiret, French couture houses banded together to
form a syndicate to thwart design piracy. Customers and
businesses who wanted to reproduce couture designs were
charged a copy right fee and fashion shows were invitation only.

1914 - 1920 in Shoes
During theGreat War, higher hemlinesexposed a gap between the tip of the boot
and a skirt hem. The look distracted from
the overall appearance of an outfit, so the
high button boots of the past wereabandoned.
Women wore shoes with heels that featured
a slight curve.
