Or, perhaps the more likely option, how much consumption is shaped by designers.<br /><br />I am guessing that in the 1940-60s, money was tight in Israel and people wanted long lasting, inexpensive and comfortable clothes. By the 1970s and 80s, there was a definite move to fashionable and modern clothes.<br /><br />Possibly this very same change was happening in societies across the globe.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-22577110864213474672012-05-19T16:49:58.002+10:002012-05-19T16:49:58.002+10:00As I follower of fashion, fascinating to find that...As I follower of fashion, fascinating to find that these drivers of national solidarity would influence what young people chose to wearHeather on her travelshttp://www.heatheronhertravels.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-16229684147014366732012-05-16T23:18:32.576+10:002012-05-16T23:18:32.576+10:00Nostalgic,

It represented the value of labour and a strong connection with the land. But it wasn't the sexiest object in a woman's wardrobe, was it?<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/yoelsarchive/243259184/Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-44644096391303670692012-05-16T10:48:59.416+10:002012-05-16T10:48:59.416+10:00Remember the farming hats that everyone wore in th...Remember the farming hats that everyone wore in the youth movements?

Factories moved off shore; good quality manufacturing jobs were lost; loyal employees were thrown on the rubbish heap; and the quality of clothes seemed much lower.<br /><br />I suppose the reason I didn't make the connection myself was because Australia is 4,000km wide. The width of Israel, at its widest, is 114 km. 100,000 unemployed people can get lost in Australia; 5 unemployed people in Israel stand out.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-88960558665511115752012-05-15T21:57:08.345+10:002012-05-15T21:57:08.345+10:00Hermes,

Countries that have school uniforms for all primary and high school students champion equality in appearance, regardless of family income; cleanliness and neatness; pride in school and community etc. Countries without school uniforms are more involved in individual freedom, initiative etc.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-17286898293632418942012-05-15T21:51:22.943+10:002012-05-15T21:51:22.943+10:00Jane and Lance

So they threw out their whale bone corsets and never went back to imprisonment again.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-58273588095721477692012-05-15T20:00:15.270+10:002012-05-15T20:00:15.270+10:00Fascinating.

At the very same time as Ata closed, momentous and similar changes were happening in Australia, as the worker's mate Hawke started the process of feeding lambs to the wolves as he gave control of our country's finances to overseas vested interests.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-81357260632283324952012-05-15T18:40:34.362+10:002012-05-15T18:40:34.362+10:00How really interesting - never gave it a thought.How really interesting - never gave it a thought.Hermeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968366076064269729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-6005180427363984302012-05-15T18:31:24.937+10:002012-05-15T18:31:24.937+10:00Hello Hels:
