Fashion has been influenced throughout history by music, movies, beliefs, current events at the time, rebellion, and much more.  Fashion is inspired and is an inspiration of how one chooses.  Groups of people set there own fashion trends.  Who would have guessed that today's capri pants were created by a group of high school students who cut off the bottoms of there pants?  It quickly swept the nation and started a new trend.  I will be taking you through fashion from the 1940's until today, marked by the decades.
