Fashion by the Decade

“Fashion is one of the richest expressions of human desires, ambitions, needs, frailty, insecurity, security. What we wear is an indication of our sense of ourselves. It’s a gift. Fashion has been in all art history. Look at the Velasquez’s, the Goya’s. Look at what they are wearing in the Whistler’s, and what they are wearing is fashion!” Richard Avedon
