Final major project

For my final project I am looking to base my work on the first major change in women's fashion: the twenties and modern fashion. I want to research into how this was a time when liberation in women's style was appearing and they were allowed to wear what they wanted without the restrictions of society. Dropped waists were introduced, corsets were gone and hair was cut short. A common thing about the past fashion and modern style is the amount of flesh shown by women. In latest s/s14 trends, brands have been using mesh and cropped tops in their designs. I am going to research into historic styles, current trends and how in modern day, are things designed to provide women with the freedom they gained in the 20's, or are they created to sell brands.
