Why do I like fashion of the 1950s?

I like fashion of the 1950s because this period was very beautiful! There were many long skirts, dresses, hats, and gloves. Prints with polk dots and flowers were also popular. Fashion icons of that time wore ballet flats and heels.

Many of these clothes became classic for us. Famous women of that time such as: Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, and Audrey Hepburn did a lot for modern fashion.

I have several clothes and shoes from 1950s in my wardrobe.

Rococo.

Rococo art style was popular in Europe, from XVII until XVIII centuries. This type has similarities with Baroque. Both art style featured luxury.

Rococo manifested in many areas at the time. Philosophy, music, architecture, painting, theatre, design.

In central and western Europe rich people had big and luxurious furniture. Large mirrors with large cutouts. The backs of chairs and table legs were of gold or other precious material.

In Rococo paintings were painted with less bright colors than Baroque. Example, Marie Antoinette a la Rose by Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun, 1783.

Architecture was known for luxury. Buildings were built in the style of a lot of wealth. Also sculpture had many beautiful features, even if there was little.

In fashion were big and wide dresses with radiant colors popular. Wigs were still in fashion.

P.S. It ended another era of beauty and wealth. Then will be a new era.
