Our Class Wiki- So Far

For our class wiki, I've been gathering information on fashion trends after the second world war. How they're born, the first trends and how it has evolved over the years. I've also looked into fashion trends of various cultures. Each culture has their own unique kind of fashion, I thought it would be interesting to have a wiki article discussing how different cultures have different fashion trends. I will specifically be focusing on fashion trends and its evolution in Japan versus the United States. Both countries have extremely different cultures, values, and it will be interesting to see the various fashion trends that took off in these countries. Besides their respective differences from one another, I will also be talking about how they have influenced each other. In the recent years, there have been multiple occasions where the two countries have influenced one another's fashion trends and how they have crossed paths with one another. For example, in the recent years, Japan's streetwear and sneakers industry have grown exponentially. Many streetwear brands in the United States, now have specialty shops all across Japan and releasing limited edition/exclusive streetwear products that draws international attention. Another example would be Rei Kawakubo, a japanese fashion designer who has collaborated with brands such as LV and H&M and designed a line of products for them. This goes to show how japanese fashion can influence the western fashion as well. There are a lot more examples that I will include in the wiki article in conjunction with all the facts and history of fashion trends in the past 71 years.
