Study of Fashion Theories by James Laver

Abstract

: Laver's approach to clothing forms was based on his belief, that there were no accidents in the history of clothing, and when examining the previous fashions, it was found that, the forms of “clothing depended primarily on the designer. As it is highlighted in the culture or civilization of this age, which affects the form of clothing in the social, and political structures of each era, as it is evident in his book "taste and fashion" from the French Revolution to this day, as confirms James Laver that, the presence of fashions is evidence of the impact of the place. It is clear that the fashion process has two aspects. First: Objective rhythms: change style clothes. Second: Personal subjective: which depends on the aesthetics of change in taste varies from costume to another.
