Contemporary Edwardian Fashion
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:
“The attraction of horror is a mental, or even an intellectual, excitement, but the fascination of the repulsive, so noticeable in contemporary writing, can spring openly from some rotted substance within our civilization ...”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
“Fashion is primitive in its insistence on exhibitionism, which withers in isolation. The catwalk fashion show with its incandescent hype is its apotheosis. A ritualized gathering of connoiseurs and the spoilt at a spotlit parade of snazzy pulchritude, it is an industrialized version of the pagan festivals of renewal. At the end of each seasonal display, a priesthood is enjoined to carry news of the omens to the masses.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
