We live today indebted to McCardell Cashin, Hawes, Wilkins, and Maxwell, and other women who liberated American fashion from the 【1】of Parisian design, Independence came in tying, wrapping, storing, and. rationalizing that wardrobe. These designers established the modern dress code, letting playsuits and other active outfits suit casual clothing, allowing pants to enter the wardrobe, and prizing rationalism and utility in dress, in contradiction to dressing for an occasion. Fashion in America was logical and 【2】 to the will of the women who wore it. American fashion addressed a democracy, whereas traditional Paris-based fashion was standardized and imposed on women, willing or not.
In an earlier time, American fashion had also followed the directions of Paris, or even【3】specific French designs. Designer sportswear was not modeled on that of Europe, as “modern art” would later be; it was
【4】invented and developed in America. Its designers were not high-end with supplementary lines. The design objective and the business commitment were targeted to sportswear, and the distinctive traits were problem-solving ingenuity (獨創(chuàng)性)and realistic lifestyle applications. Ease of care was most important: summer dresses and outfits, in particular, were【5】 cotton, readily capable of being washed and pressed at home. Closings were simple, practical, and 【6】 as the modern woman depended on no personal maid to dress her. American designers 【7】 the freedom of women who wore the clothing.
Many have argued, that the women designers of that time 【8】 their own clothing values into a new style. Of course, much of this argument in the 1930s-40s was advanced because there was little or no experience in designing clothes on the basis of utility. But could utility alone 【9】the new ideas of the American designers? Fashion is often regarded as a pursuit of beauty, and some cherished fashion's relationship to the fine arts. What the designers of the American sportswear proved was that fashion is a design art, answering to the demanding needs of service. Of course these practical,【10】 designers have determined the course of late twentieth-century fashion. They were the pioneers of gender equity, in their useful, adaptable clothing, which was both made for the masses and capable of self-expression.
