Designer fashion is made for the skinny. It’s sad, but true.
But that doesn’t stop bodacious broads like Queen Latifah from strutting down the red carpet looking gorgeous in a made-for-her Carmen Marc Valvo gown. She would never cover up her assets with a high-neck gown or wear a sack-like dress to disguise curves.
Likewise, usually tiny celebs who are pregnant at awards shows have learned to play up their newly ripe figures. The most memorable was a ready-to-deliver-any-day Catherine Zeta-Jonesin a low-cut black Versace, the most recent was a glowing Gwyneth Paltrow in a not-meant-to-be-slimming ethereal cream Balenciaga gown at the Golden Globes in ’06.
Learn to embrace your body, too. If you aren’t comfortable in curve-hugging dresses because of too much jiggle, then try a body slimmer underneath for more control.

follows the same general trajectory as the high fashion ideal


Utilizing historical data from 1789 to 1936 on six
persistent dimensions of women's evening dress, a mathematical
model derived elsewhere (Lowe and Lowe 1982) was
tested against new data extending to 1980 to determine
its predictability. The fashion process in women's
dress appears to be predictable, but just barely.
Tue problem to be addressed in this paper is: how predictable
is fashion change? Tlie fashion process is
rather ubiquitous, influencing activities ranging from
medical practice and social theory to the purchasing of
a vast array of con.sumer products. The extent to which
fashion operates in any of t'lese realms is a matter of
degree, but one can argue that the fashion process
achieve.s its gre.atest dominance in the area of women's
dress. Nor is it a new phenomenon; as William
Shakespeare wrote, "Fashion wears out more clothes than
the mai."
01
Methodology and Data Base
Utilizing fashion publications, a year-to-year record
of dress exists, stretching hack to the French
Revolution. Data include metrical measurements of six
persistent dimensions of women's formal evening attire,
including skirt length and width, waist length and
width, and decolletage length and width. Data for the
period 1789 to 1936 were compiled by two anthropologies
ts, Alfred Kroeber and Jane Richardson (Richardson
and Kroeber 1940). Using the same method of selecting
fashion plates and obtaining measurements, we extended
the data base to 1980. A 5-year overlap of data from
1932 to 1936 passed statistical tests for comparability.
All six dress dimensions were converted to ratios of the
dimensions, divided by the total height of the figure to
provide comparability of data. The total height was
measured from the center of the mouth to the tip of the
toe bearing weight or to the center of the skirt if no
feet were visible, thus eliminating problems associated
with changing hair styles. Briefly stated, skirt length
was measured from the mouth to hem of the skirt at
center front; waist length from mouth to narrowest part
at waist along center front; decolletage length from
mouth to middle of neckline at cent'^r front. sheath bridal gown , Skirt
width was measured as the diameter of the skirt at the
hem; waist width as the width at the minimum area of
the waist; and decolletage width as the distance
between inside edges of the dress at the shoulder
line. A number of measurements were taken every year
for each dress dimension and means were computed.
Limita tions
This study focuses on women's formal evening dress,
presumably that area of women's dress where sytlistic
change plays its greatest role and continuity with the
past is strongest.
The data set consists of haute couture plates, not
actual consumer choices. The yearly means for each
dress dimen.sion are not measures of what the populatioi
,)t large was wearing but rather depict a kind of ide^il,
what the purveyors of high fashion thought women ought
to be wearing. Obviously the measures are related, but
the data examined here may best be thought of as an
underlying conceptual structure on which local and
idiosyncratic transformations are made according to
taste, and, as this structure alters, .so too do
individual .and local behavior. lhe few studies that
have been made, comparing the two (for instance Jack and
Schiffer 1948), indicate that Fashion change in New York
City, Muncie, Indiana, or Butte, Montana follows the
same general trajectory as the high fashion ideal,
though attenuated and perhaps Lagged in time.
The fashion process may be tliought of as consisting of
two components: (1) mechanisms which generate new
innovations . Japanese school uniforms . and select among them, and (2) a diffusion
process governing the spread of new forms. Each has
its ragjlarities, at least of a statistical nature.
Tn this country, for example, southern California is a
recurrent spawning ground for fashions in popular
culture. In this paper, however, we will concentrate on
regularities in the first component, the generation of
new conceptual patterns from old ones.

Fashion is gentility running away from vulgarity and afraid of being overtaken

the facts. If he can jump this
hurdle, he is over the hurdle of inferiority complex
in his business. Since this point is such a
vital one, let me break it down into its four
essential components.
(]) There are psychological and biological
drives involved in fashion, and these drives remain
pretty constant. Hence, what is wanted
is constant: glamor and a sense of belonging or
security; the desire to keep up with the Joneses,
on the one hand, and the attempt to become
Mrs. Jones on the other.
(a) General fashions change slowly. For instance,
emancipation of women had to be reflected
in women's clothes, but that was a long,
historical process. Suburban and casual living
has increased the importance of sportswear, but
that too did not happen overnight. The increasing
number of working women has
brought about many new fashions, including
the basic dress that can change its look at
7:00 p.m. by the addition of an accessory, but
this has not been a quick development either.
The fact is that general fashions change slowly.
The specific causes of a general fashion change
are not necessarily of concern to the fashion
merchant. For example, there is an Oriental
influence taking place in women's apparel.
The fashion merchant will know this ��? he cannot
escape it �� but he does not need to know
how it came about. If he is curious, he can call
up some fashion expert, who may tell him that
it is the result of pressure by Mongolian idiots
or of the decision of women in Bali sheath bridal gown finally to
dress themselves. He would find this very fascinating
and proceed about his business, reassured
that the development was going to stay
on for a while.
(3) Fashion no longer refers to price. Stu-
- Associated Merchandising Corporation Conimittee Report
on "The Significance of Fashion Leadership to Our
Stores."
dents of marketing used to talk about the
fashion cycle as having three phases �� a conveniently
divided Tinkers-to-Evers-to-Chance
sort of afliair �� with different price characteristics
for each phasfe. By contrast, the fact today
is that the fashion cycle moves so quickly
that it is a blur. Almost everyone instantaneously
wants the same thing. The differential
price characteristic has virtually disappeared.
Radio, TV, the theater, and the press can be
thanked for this.
(4) If fashion in the broad sense changes
slowly, specific manifestations of fashion can
and do change quickly �� very quickly. This
point is a crucial one. To make the distinction,
some people have called general fashion merely
"fashion," and specific fashion' "style," or vice
versa.
Let me illustrate the distinction by an example
previously referred to: the growing importance
of sportswear. This is a general fashion
trend, and its course will not be altered except
in the space of a long period. At the moment,
however, within sportswear there can be a demand
for white sweaters. Tomorrow this demand
may change to purple skirts; the next
day, to something else. These are the changes
involved in Professor Melvin T. Copeland's
fashion cycle theory, where emulation becomes
the pivotal drive.^ The nub of the whole thing
is right here. William Hazlett's definition,
"Fashion is gentility running away from vulgarity
and afraid of being overtaken," is just
another way of stating Copeland's thesis that
there are "distinctive," "emulation," and "mass
emulation" stages (however momentary) of
every specific fashion.
Going back to our illustration, certain social
leaders, a distinguished campus, or the "international
set" will decide to wear white sweaters.
Why is unimportant. Then other persons in
the next social stratum down Japanese school uniforms begin to emulate
�� and there we go. It should be clear, though,
that the distinguished group, no matter how
distinguished, cannot bring about a fundamental
change in fashion. The roots have to be
deeper than that. Given a general fashion
trend, what the distinguished group does is to
try to be different within it. That is all. As
has been indicated.

Fashion is not necessarily high fashion

FASHION merchandising has been called
"a riddle, wrapped in mystery, inside an
enigma." To the extent that this is so, I
suspect that we fashion merchants ^ are partly
responsible. Guild secrets help to keep us in
tight supply �� and to obtain the proper deference!
At some risk, therefore, I am going to
make it my objective in the following pages
to take away a little of the mystery. If I stand
to be professionally ostracized for "talking," let
me plead justification: Fashion is important to
a lot of people simply because it is in almost
everything.
Businessmen in the department store field
particularly do not need to be told this. Not
only is a substantial percentage of their business
in the soft, or. fashion, lines; but all their
departments have fashion merchandise in the
large sense of the phrase. It follows that most
top merchandise jobs require fashion "feeling"
and understanding, and it should not be surprising
that the demand for men qualified for
such jobs is much greater than the supply. Indeed,
perhaps the most difficult job to fill in
department stores these days is the ready-towear
merchandise job, which is typically one of
the lo or 13 top-paying jobs in the store and
an excellent springboard to higher positions.
Businessmen outside the department store
field are concerned with the subject, too. Fashion
is a factor in almost every field �� witness,
for example, the changing tastes for different
kinds of books, entertainment, baseball commissioners,
and ways to make a really good
martini. For the purpose of this article, however,
I will confine myself to women's clothes.
It should be clear that the principles are equally
applicable to other commodities.
^ Mr. Daniels is Vice President in Charge ot Merchandising
at Abraham & Straus, New York. �� The Editors.
After a brief analysis of the essential nature
of fashion, the following topics will be discussed:
(1) the mechanics of fashion merchandising,
(2) the arts of fashion merchandising,
and (3) the feeling for fashion merchandising.
.
Nature of Fashion
This is a sheath bridal gown field where tbe only good place to
begin is witb a definition of the subject. Much
of the mystery of fashion merchandising is
simply a matter of not knowing wbat fashion is.
Tbere are a host of definitions, many by
erudite men and women. For instance, Ambrose
Bierce bas said that "fashion is a despot
whom the wise ridicule �� and obey." And according
to Thoreau, "Every generation laughs
at the old fashions but follows religiously the
new." In Oscar Wilde's opinion, "Fashion is a
form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to
alter it every six months." Shakespeare philosophized
that "the fashion wears out more apparel
than tbe man."
In each of these observations �� and Japanese school uniforms there are
countless others equally appropriate �� there is
something germane. But the definition which
best seems to sum up the essential characteristics
of fashion is a much more mundane one:
"Fashion is a conception of what is currently
appropriate." The report from which this
quotation is taken goes on to say:
Fashion influences human activities and shapes
the forms of our possessions. It affects the things
we do, the things we say, the things we wear, and
the things we use. Times and conditions largely
affect fashion and may be looked upon as a subtle
reflection of our composite feelings and reactions
to life at any given period. Fashion is not necessarily
high fashion, the latter being the expression
of a limited number of people with aboveHarvard
Business Review
nonnal means or taste to enjoy it. Mass fashions
are the most widely accepted versions of high
fashion trends .^
Definition. Our definition of fashion as a
conception of "what is currently appropriate"
means, in simpler language, a conception of
what the customier wants. This idea will be
popping up again and again in the subsequent
discussion.
