Expansion

[edit]

Great stuff here; I am tweaking a bit to match the style of the earlier articles in the series and adding in the men's section (text to follow). - PKM 23:06, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lead image

[edit]
Dancers Vernon and Irene Castle in elegant evening clothes of the 1910s.

An anonymous user has removed the new lead image I added to this article a while back without explanation. I believe the photo (right}, showing actual men's and women's styles of the decade, is a better lead image than the current one. What do others think? - PKM (talk) 23:58, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I like both images. However, seeing as the photograph on the right depicts actual people it should go in the lead. The drawing should be shown someplace in the article as well though.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:04, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What about those headbands?

[edit]

I've seen many photos and movies from the mid 1910s where women wear these cool headbands at evening parties. This style seems to have continued into the early 1920s. Courtburst423 (talk) 14:19, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Globalize template

[edit]

This article is labeled as dealing with "fashion," but appears to deal almost exclusively with European and American fashion; therefore I have added the globalize template. Articles dealing with 1909 and before are expressly limited to Western fashion in the intro paragraph, apparently on the basis that fashion was mostly a Western thing during those periods, but articles about "fashion" in more recent periods need to be global in scope.

Western fashion heading

[edit]

I changed the heading on the article to "Fashion from 1910–1919 in European and European-influenced" to emphasize that this article covers only fashion in the western world.SpiritedMichelle (talk) 02:53, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the edit. I have just reworded it to express the same information more concisely. Mabalu (talk) 11:04, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Images of 1910s fashion from a Turkish magazine

[edit]

The old magazine Servet-i-Funun has some images of fashion in Vienna, Austria

I'm not sure if there are higher quality versions of these WhisperToMe (talk) 16:26, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to lead + children's fashion

[edit]

I recently made some edits to the lead section to better reflect the overall content of the article. However, as currently noted, the lead could still use some expansion, and I hope others will tweak what I have written to better summarize the article. In addition, I believe that this article could benefit from the coverage of children's styles during this era. If anybody is up for the task, I'm sure myself and many others would appreciate it!
