Why does fashion change? In fact, there are so many reasons such as famous designers, new technologies and social events. I suppose they all influence fashion very much and also carious things like famous people, magazines and movies are connected strongly to fashion changes. However, when I look back to the history, there are significant things that changed fashion.

First of all, historical events such as World War I and II had a big effect on fashion. Sometimes, people are forced to changed their clothes due to there events. In European countries, women had to do men’s jobs and needed to wear practical clothes like trousers because of World War I. The same sort of thing occurred in Japan, too. When World War II was started, women had to remake their kimonos (和服) to working jackets or monpe, Japanese loose trousers, because they had to do work that men used to do. I think there are really sad reasons to change clothes due to the fact that people were required to change fashion even if they did not want to.

 Historical events are not the only reasons that fashion changes, but also cultural influences can change fashion. Milenovich says, “After Japan opened up to foreign trade in 1853, the Japanese gradually forsook the kimono, in favor of Western fashions, which symbolized their arrived in the modern world.” I think it was one of the most important turning points for Japanese fashion. At that time, Japanese people got a new choice of their clothes. In addition ,more Japanese males started to adopt American and European style of fashion after World War II ended though Japanese women kept wearing the kimono much longer.
