Although the Edwardian styles and silhouettes of the beginning of the 1900s faded out to make way for the roaring twenties, the New Look in the 1940s and other styles, it still remains an influence for current day fashion. For example, Christian Dior's Fall 2005 Couture Collection was inspired by this time period. The couture dresses showed off corseted bodices and romantic ruffles.

Famous quotes containing the words contemporary and/or fashion:
“I have the strong impression that contemporary middle-class women do seem prone to feelings of inadequacy. We worry that we do not measure up to some undefined level, some mythical idealized female standard. When we see some women juggling with apparent ease, we suspect that we are grossly inadequate for our own obvious struggles.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“A man in all the world’s new fashion planted,
That hath a mint of phrases in his brain.
One who the music of his own vain tongue
Doth ravish like enchanting harmony.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
