1790 - 1900
FROM REVOLUTION TO FRIVOLITY
This was a century of unprecedented and accelerated change.
The world’s population grew dramatically, and infant mortality was reduced by a quarter due to improved health care and hygiene.
The average adult lifespan increased by a decade, and a burgeoning middle class acquired property and possessions, patronized department stores, and indulged in sports activities.
Day trippers to national exhibitions and the seaside saw fashionable society men and women at leisure and aspired to their lifestyle — and fashions.
Philanthropic reforms, including educational provision, assisted the working classes in seeking to better themselves by working their way up in factories, stores, or “in service”.
The world was changing rapidly, and the increase in members of the affluent middle classes breathed life into the market for fashionable garments.
On the move
After the Industrial Revolution, there was a major shift from country to town dwelling.
Improved transportation systems — railroads, steamships, roads, and bridges — supported trade and allowed ordinary people to travel greater distances.
Increased mobility expanded their range of experiences and gave rise to a new sense of wordiness and fashion consciousness.
The efficient circulation of newspapers and the advent of mail delivery, as well as photography, the typewriter, telephone, and transatlantic telegraph facilitated long-distance communications.
News of national, European, and American politics traveled at greater speed.
Fashion information, through magazines and correspondence, could now be readily shared between continents.
Fashion was becoming truly international.
