Four trends in one

I found this 1950s photograph on pinterest today. I thought it was fantastic as it captures so many of the different 50s trends within one picture which makes it a powerful image. The first 1950s trend I spotted within this photograph was the big coat with the fur joined at the neck. Fur was a widely used fabric in them days, seen on most upper class women. This trend has been brought through to modern day with adaptions. A second trend interpreted is the satin gloves, also worn by most upper class women in the 50s. This may have been for functional purposes or aesthetic purposes. The gloves created a very formal, sophisticated look for women. A highly exaggerated and desired trend was the hourglass figure portrayed in this photograph. Throughout the 50s this was the only body shape women really aimed for. Finally I noticed a beauty aspect of this picture, which was the hair. The hair is commonly stripped back, away from the face, as show in this image. It implied a soft, feminine appeal.
