Once World War II ended, fashion rebelled against the uniform of the time and produced a design of a fitted jacket with a cinched waist and a calf-length
skirt using ten to eighty yards of fabric. This style, was the "New Look," it proved to be a turning point in the postwar. The designs became extremely
popular, as women were longing to
dress femininely again. Other designers countered the voluminous look with boxy suits and slim skirts. Synthetic fabrics (nylon, polyester, and acrylic) became
more widely used because they
were
affordable and easy to maintain. Finally for
the first
time, teenagers became a
force in the
fashion market because of influences such
as music and film.
