| Abstract |
The aim of this research was to study the evolution and relationship of the fashion industry and societal shifts in the stereotypical gender system. The goal was to gain deeper understanding of integration in feminist social movements from the 1960s through 2000s and the fashion industry. This allowed the researcher to go further and relate the past with present actions, considering fashion as a tool to show strength and individuality. Fashion gives power to be authentic which aligns with current trends. The motive behind this study was accomplished by collecting, reviewing, and analyzing content of relevant scholarly works along with magazines, newspapers, and current events. The research revealed a few examples that changed the aspects of power through clothing in past decades. The core idea is to explain the importance of clothing and style in expressing thoughts, opinions, and personality. Feminism and fashion are the main two pillars of this study, while LGBTQ+ and politics form the other two important themes of this work. These four topics are evidently taken into the account and integrated into an organized result with existing commonalities presented through this investigation. This research provided a foundation for future exploration, which will take a deeper dive into the involvement of fashion in power and politics. With further opportunity to investigate, this study brings up the social movements reflected in appearance that was and is successful in changing and representing gender dynamics in our society.
