  • Thank you for your share very much

  • Hi, guy. I am so glad to come here and read your story. The world changes every day. Expect the next surprise!

  • New York City remains the center of American undergarment production throughout the 1950s. During this decade, the ILGWU enjoys its greatest strength. But times are changing, and companies are maintaining corporate headquarters in New York while increasingly shifting their production facilities to the South (where workers are not as unionized and labor is therefore cheaper).

  • One year after establishing his couturier headquarters in Paris, French fashion designer Christian Dior debuts the "the New Look," which showcases a cinched waist, rounded hips, and a long skirt. The couture innovation sparks the return of the corset as a fashion trend. Corsetry experiences a revival in the post-World War II period, particularly during the 1950s. The New Look is an utterly uncomfortable outfit and one hardly suited to any type of labor, but it is nonetheless wildly popular. This craze cements Dior's reputation, enshrines him as "the template for the designer as a celebrity," and places him on the cover of Time magazine.40

  • In Los Angeles, a group of United States Navy sailors, angered by a series of confrontations with local Mexican-American youths, take weapons into the nearby neighborhoods and target all those wearing zoot suits, an oversized outfit first popularized by African-American jazz musicians and later adopted by Mexican-American youths. The so-called "Zoot Suit Riots" will rage for days, demonstrating fashion's potential to function as a conflict-generating marker of difference between different segments of society.
