Edwardian ladies in lace.
Society tottered through the last of the pre-War parties, waved tiny lace handkerchiefs, and carried elaborate parasols until the War came with its sweeping changes.
Lucile, Lady Duff Gordon (1863-1935), British fashion designer.
World War I (1914-1918) brought about many changes in fashion, particularly for women. Long lacy gowns were replace by shorter skirts and jackets in sturdy fabrics. No more excessively large hats but instead close fitted hats with little to no embellishments. Women were now on the move and their clothes had to move with them.
With this Covid-19 pandemic, we might see our own changes in fashion. Or will we? Truth be told, we really can’t get any more casual. Perhaps we will flip to the other side and want to dress up, but I doubt it. For starters, most people don’t even know how to do that anymore.
One added accessory will be masks. Perhaps more people will want to wear hats, as added protection. Also, gloves. Matching sets! I see a potential for additional pockets in clothing to make things like hand sanitizer quickly accessible. Otherwise, with the distraction of the virus and wanting to keep distant and stay safe, people, now more than ever, are going to want to be comfortable.
OverDressed for Life 
Lady Duff Gordon was quite the innovator. Thanks Moya for your informing blog.
Political and social upheaval remake our worlds in so many unexpected ways.
You pose an intriguing question.
I see color, especially atonal color, and mixed pattern, a sort of visual jazz in fabrics.
Perhaps as a culture we will demand clothing made sustainability, locally, and compassionately.
Shapes will be simple, not fussy, geometric, and crafted of natural materials especially cottons.
Hope so anyway.
I’m hoping for some major shifts as well. Particularly, away from fast fashion and toward investment in quality clothing. Also, perhaps now people will find making their own clothing more satisfying. First masks, next a dress, a skirt … We shall see. Thanks, Lori!
