Throughout history, fashion trends have been influenced by various political, cultural, and media factors and have changed each decade. Unrealistic beauty standards in the early 1900s led women to wear restrictive corsets. The 1920s brought the flapper style of bobbed hair and little black dresses. Iconic stars from each era, such as Marilyn Monroe in the 1950s and Audrey Hepburn in the 1960s, promoted styles that are still influential today. With the rise of mass media, young people are exposed to many changing trends each season, which can be confusing. Educating youth about the origins and influences of past trends may help provide a greater appreciation of modern fashion.
