1950s dress, style & fashion

The 1950s is the era of rock n roll, jive dancing and great self expression. 1950s fashion was heavily influenced by a cultural return to glamour and elegance following the austerity of the war years.

Today, the chic elegance of many 1950's designs is being celebrated again in events such as the Goodwood Revival and Vintage at Goodwood and there is a strong demand for 1950s retro and vintage clothing as a new generation rediscovers the beauty of the era not to mention new waves such as Rockabilly!
