Fashion Evolution:
From Glamour to Authenticity

 

Fashion reflects the flow of time.

In 1995, it was the glitz born of pop culture and consumerism.
In 2005, nostalgia and a dreamlike aesthetic ruled.
By 2015, diversity and social movements began to influence fashion.

 

#1 The Evolving Image of Women:
From Glamour to Strength

1995:
The supermodel era.
Bold and playful, with mini skirts and cropped tops at their peak. 


2005:
Bohemian and romantic moods became the trends.


2015:
A fusion of sharp tailoring and softer pieces,
fashion turned into a tool for self-expression.



#2 Shifting Silhouettes:
Tight & Short → Relaxed & Powerful

1995:
Body-conscious styles took the stage
with mini skirts & cropped jackets.


2005:
A more relaxed, linear silhouette
with a natural flow.

 2015:
Oversized pieces paired with tailored cuts,
making "coolness" the focus.

 


#3 The Evolution of Chanel’s Iconic 「Tweed Suit」


1995:
Cropped lengths & mini skirts,
modern & sexy.


2005:
Feminine elements
added a softer, gentler impression.


2015:
Oversized and linear silhouettes
gave the tweed suit a sophisticated new style.

 
Chanel’s Spring/Summer collections have always reflected
the "women of today" across all eras.

And now, fashion is freedom.


"Wear the style you love, the way you love it."
