Project Motivation
With the explosion of AI devices and fast lane innovation, I still firmly think the significance of learning the principles of art and layout Studying style history is a crucial element of haute couture and getting motivation in our very own layout. So I believed it would certainly be a fun project to recreate the historical designs to help 1 educate fashion history 2 showcase the Google AI tools
Over the last 100 years, style has actually been a living canvas, mirroring and replying to seismic changes in society, technology, and culture. This blog post will work as a miniature guide to modern American style history, decade by decade, with a special perk consider the future of style (AI/ 3 D).
While each age typically has more than simply one popular shape, I’ve concentrated on creating simply one trademark look per decade. Each look features a gown with movement that brings a 2 D photo to life as a brief video clip with music and dancing
Century of Design: The Looks

The 1920 s ushered in the Jazz Age. Women embraced liberty with shorter hemlines, edge, and drop-waist silhouettes– ideal for the Charleston, the dance trend of the decade.

In the 1930 s, Hollywood prestige affected daily design. In Spite Of the Great Depression, bias-cut dress and longer hemlines created a classy, moving silhouette.
1940 s Hollywood Glamour Gown|Tap Dance
War time brought constraints on fashion and made it extra “utility”. While day-to-day women clothed more modestly as a result of rationing, Hollywood glamour thrived in the 1940 s , especially in musicals, nightclubs, and films.
I picked to create the appearance with Hollywood beauty outfit with faucet dancing.
1950 s Make over|Swing Dancing
After the war, Christian Dior’s ‘New Look’ redefined feminineness with a cinched waistline and full skirt. The appearance twirled easily with the rhythms of swing dance.
I revamped the very same outfit with a summertime fair background, utilizing Nano Banana (Gemini 2 5 Blink Picture) and Veo 3:
1960 s Op Art A-Line Gown|Spin Dancing
The 1960 s celebrated young people culture. The tiny skirt became a sign of freedom, paired with strong prints and the infectious power of the Spin dancing.

In the 1970 s, fashion hit the dancing flooring. Bell bases, one-piece suits, and sequins gleamed under the disco ball– best for Saturday Evening High Temperature.
I developed a wrap outfit with floral print with disco dance and music.
1980 s Power Dress|Runway Walk
The 1980 s were bold and powerful. From large sports jackets with sharp shoulders to neon tights, style made a statement– magnified by pop music and aerobics-inspired actions.
For this clip I decided on a power dress (large shower pads) with path walk.
1990 s Salsa Dress & & Dancing
In the 1990 s, minimalism met worldwide influences. Slide outfits, denim, and body-con styles went along with the rise of Latin dancing like salsa, bringing rhythm to the path.

Allow’s fast ahead to today. The 2020 s are specified by a seismic shift unlike any type of various other: the explosion of AI and 3 D in fashion style.
We are seeing purely electronic garments produced in software application like Clo 3 D or Style 3 D, used by virtual avatars, and offered in the metaverse. This digital-first method is swiftly altering what it means to be a developer.

Creative Direction & & Attribution

For instance, hip jump affected multiple decades, as did K-pop, and each period frequently had greater than one specifying shape. Picking just one look for each years needed careful factor to consider. The imaginative direction– consisting of the haute couture, choreography, and music selection– was developed and created by me.
