In the picture to the left, Mary Wilson of the Supremes, to the left, and Beyonce Knowles, to the right, are wearing similar dresses. I believe this picture implies is excellent proof that fashion is recycled. With designers today, they pride themselves on innovation of their clothing. But all clothing nowadays is influenced by fashion trends from decades and even centuries before. Not only fashion trends, but also entire fashion from a decade is seen in present fashion. The picture of Mary Wilson was taken in the 1960’s and the picture of Beyonce Knowles was taken like a few years ago. It’s interesting that a dress today is similar to one made 40 years ago. My chosen topic is to prove that in the fashion world nothing is innovation. All “new” fashion trends are inspired from clothing from years prior. Even though clothing today might not even look similar to prior trends, the silhouette can be found in years before. The audience should feel shocked that Beyonce’s original looking dress is not original at all.
I totally agree with the fact that fashion is often repeated. In many ways the trends that we follow today are nothing brand new. I have put on outfits many times and had my mother comment that she remembers when they wore that. It becomes irritating sometimes. She laughs and says that the generations are simply copying the past. This argument can be proven in various ways. All you have to do is look around you or at any celebrity. All the things we wear have definitely been worn before. I think this is a great argument to make because there is a substantial amount of evidence to back it up.
