…saves nine? Well, that would depend on the era in which you lived: for centuries hemlines and necklines and bust lines have risen and fallen with the regularity of the changing tides. Historically, clothing and accessories have defined individuals, economic classes, religious groups--even national identity--as viewers will learn in this entertaining, lighthearted, witty look at the fashion industry, chronicling how the evolution of clothing in the 20th century was shaped by contributing social, cultural and political influences. Enhanced with excellent archival footage, the program goes back in time to trace the changing perceptions of beauty and “buffness” firsthand with the birth of swimwear, shoes, stockings and socks, hats, and an assortment of various push-up, mash-down, minimizing, and maximizing “devices” designed to enhance the contours of the modern woman. A total of 26 garment and fashion trends for men, women, and children are covered in this revealing look at one of the most visible factors that sets humankind apart from its beastly brethren. Highly recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (L. Stevens)
