My favorite (and the only enjoyable part) of the AP United States History class that I took this year was our end of year project. We could pick any aspect or topic related to history prior to 2000. The topic I chose was women's fashion in the 1990's.
Researching this topic gave me a good opportunity to use Beverly Hills 90210 as homework. While researching I found these great photos over at
whowhatwear.
The project ended up being quite simple, the majority of the research I had to do was just reading at and looking at trends. Which really, I'd be doing anyway. A few people asked me why I didn't choose something more fun like the seventies or eighties, or more elegant and gorgeous like the time period of Marie Antoinette's reign. However, the choice seemed pretty simple to me. I love the nineties. It's funny because I don't really see myself wearing many of the trends from that era. What I really love about the nineties are how closely linked the fashions and the pop culture; like music, movies, and television.
If you'd like to take a look at my project a portion of it is online,
