“Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.” (Fashion Quotes 1) The words once spoken by Henry David Thoreau are politically correct. People often look at Elizabethan‘s choice of fashion and ridicule everything about it from the hair, down to the stockings. As it appears, fashion has always been a broad topic of discussion in the world. Whether it is NY Fashion Week or a Macy’s fashion show, fashion is something that has always been an eye catcher. Fashion has been around for many years, and whether we know it or not, Elizabethan fashion has influenced the way modern fashion is today.

The 18th century, more precisely between 1715 and 1789, was a significant time period in the fashion sphere for women in France. The time period itself was a mark of great change for the history of France due to various political reasons as well as various art movements and often times fashion, despite being a branch of art, is overlooked by most viewers. However, fashion during this time excelled in France and was essentially the symbol of a new era in this domain; French fashion was now snowballing into something much greater that still echoes to this today. Ultimately, the goal of this essay is to describe women’s fashion during the period of 1715-1789 and the shifts it made through the analytical use of various sources including artwork, literature, museums’ online archives and internet sources.

Ironically, as a member of the aristocratic class, she “wore nothing but the oldest clothes” (pg. 64). According to Dashkova’s

“I wanted to be successful. I definitely didn't want to be poor.” Said Andrew Cherng, this quote clearly represents how people in Annawadi thinks by surviving and searching opportunities to get out of the slum area and live a better life or a better future for them and their family. As I see in slums such as Annawadi I saw many opportunity for them to succeed such as Abdul family was doing pretty okay as a trash recycler until the family was accused in killing Fatima in the fire. As I believed there are many ways of getting out of poverty, but for me the one of the best way of getting out of poverty such as in Annawadi is through corruption.

The clothing symbolises the imprint and effect people leave on the environment throughout their lives. This is a representation of now, although people may assume their actions have no consequences they will always have an imprint or effect on people, or the environment throughout

“I always thought that if I could pull off great boots [...] that would make me happy. But the hair gets in my face, the boots pinch… and this leotard is giving me an epic wedgie.” Ms. Marvel in No Normal and Generation Why defies “the typical oversexualization and damsel in distress archetype of women in comics.” (Sujei Lugo, Boston Public Library) Ms. Marvel is not depicted similar to how women are depicted in other comics. Kamala Khan’s costume and wardrobe—especially her costume and what she decides to wear—is anything but typical. When Kamala Khan decides to “run around JC all powered up,” she realizes that she needs a costume. After finally acknowledging the costume, Kamala’s first words to Ammi upon arriving at home are “Ammi! Where’s

Her clothes are covering—full length pants, boots, a mock turtle-neck shirt, and a thin jacket. These are clothes that seem perfectly practical for a secret agent to wear—not particularly noticeable and not constricting of uncomfortable. However, most female warriors are depicted scantily clad and/or in very form-fitting outfits, and, at least among superheroes, bright colors and heels. Unlike 355’s wardrobe, these types of clothing are completely impractical just in general, everyday life, let alone when fighting in a battle. Ultimately, the abundance of racy, impractical clothing female heroes are often clad in can once more be linked to the hyper sexualization of female warriors. Revealing and suggestive clothing is employed because the purpose of the women in the stories is to function as sexual objects, little more than eye-candy. The fact that they are strong and can fight only adds to their sexual appeal, rather than displaying their heroic principles and strength of character. 335’s practical clothing and relatively androgynous appearance directly oppose the hyper sexualization of female heroes, depicting her as a true hero and not simply an object for

The thing that most startled me when I started watching Star Trek, the Original Series, for this paper was the costumes. The women’s uniform is a very short mini-dress that looks like a cheerleader’s outfit, while the man wear body conscious but not revealing pants and sweatshirts. At the time the episodes were made, the choice to dress the women that was not as controversial as it looks today. The short skirts were inspired by the mini skirts that had become popular, especially with young women breaking away from the traditions of their parents and the bright colors were inspired by the bright colors in the pop art of Andy Warhol. The women’s hairstyles, which seem pretty extreme to a modern viewer, were just slightly larger versions of

She wore these costumes because she wanted to see how far she how "transformed she could look (Haller 225). Yet, Sherman never considered dressing up for performance purposes because she was "not maintaining a character" but simply "getting dressed up to go out" (Thames and Hudson 2).

Throughout the entirety of the novel, Marjane Satrapi’s growth as a person seems to be a highlight that is almost as intriguing to track as the plot itself. Her loss of innocence and personal change can be linked to growing up within an environment of unrest and struggle. In regards to this idea, the character of Marjane Satrapi symbolizes a coming of age theme. Her relationships with surrounding characters, and experiences throughout her life heavily influence her perception and who she grows up to be.
