Timeless Beauty of the Teens by Julie Allen Matthews - Elegant styles of the 1910s

Between the opulence of the Gilded Age and the decadence of the Roaring Twenties, fashion during the teens softened and simplified. Hemlines rose and corsets relaxed. Influenced by Neo-classicism and Orientalism at the beginning of the decade and World War I at the end, fashion during the teens was eclectic and transitional. Julie Allen Matthews illustrates styles from each year of the teens as well as three mix-and-match pages showing the diversity of the decade.
