Fashion has always reflected the times—from Roman togas that screamed status, to Marie Antoinette’s wigs that practically needed scaffolding. In ancient Rome and Greece, clothes were simple and draped; in the Renaissance, they turned theatrical with poofy sleeves and codpieces.

By the 18th century, silhouettes widened to absurdity—thank panniers and powdered wigs. The Victorian era brought corsets and top hats, but also sewing machines that revolutionized how clothing was made.

The 1920s flappers danced into shorter hemlines and sequins, while the ’60s launched miniskirts and moon-ready metallics. The ’80s? Neon, shoulder pads, and Madonna. The ’90s gave us grunge and minimalism, and the 2000s sparkled with rhinestones and low-rise jeans.

Today, fashion is anything and everything: vintage, sustainable, digital, fluid. Whether you're rocking thrifted flannel or couture for the metaverse, the next big trend might be yours to start.
