A good example is found in therelationship between fashion and periodic conditions before and after World War I in the U.S. Duringthe pre-wartime, the artificial silhouette achieved through using devices like the corset was popular andthen womens dresses were very decorative and gorgeous using a wide variety of details. S-curvedsilhouettes and Paul Poirets style will be reviewed as distinctive shapes of pre-war fashion in thebeginning of the 20th Century. Through the war, womens rights improved enormously, the use of theautomobile increased tremendously, and various kind of sports, the movie industry and ready-to-wearmarket developed very much.
