World War II created many radical changes in the fashion
industry. After the War, Paris wasn’t the global center of
fashion like it used to be and mass-manufactured fashion became
increasingly popular.      Fashion History from 1920 – 1930
During the 1920s clothing styles officially entered the modern
era of fashion design. The traditional divide that had always
existed between the high society and worker class was suddenly
questioned in the West. A new young generation was born who
fought against the existing differences. Women began to liberate
themselves from constricting and uncomfortable gowns for the
first time. They were open for casual and more comfortable
styles like pants and shorter skirts, low waistlines, and
revolutionary styles of the flapper era. Cloche hats without
rims also became a key popular accessory.
