Fashion in Florida

Florida’s colorful landscape and breezy beaches make it a beautiful location for fashion shoots and the display of colorful warm-weather clothing. In fact, well-known designers and clothing shops such as Chico’s and Lilly Pulitzer have their headquarters in Florida. Even before the advent of more modern fashion trends, Floridians enjoyed keeping up with the latest styles – from swimwear to formalwear and clothes for every day. This selection of images from the Florida Photographic Collection features Floridians of all ages, both professional models and average citizens, sporting the latest fashions from the 19th century to the 20th.
