Fashion is artform that recycles itself. For example this past season the eighties strong shoulder came back but it was modernized ; during the eighties shoulder pads were put into everygarment imaginable and most times those garments were boxy and shapeless. Today (fall '09 season) that trend was translated into sleek fitted sheath dresses and tailored suits. It almost gave some garments a furturistic appearance. One of the biggest difference between fashion then and now is simply technology in textiles and just in general. Textiles as a science has evovled in ways that were unimaginable during the early part of 20th century. This changes how fabrics can be used and shaped. The greatest difference would be society. Women as well as men are much more casual in dress to today than they ever were. Most people look for comfort in every aspect of their clothing. There was a time that women (and men) would not leave the house without wearing a hat and a pair of day gloves. Just as during the corset period in fashion a woman leaving the house without wearing one was viewed as "loose". Unfortunately leaving the house in a t shirt , jeans and bummy shoes has become the norm for most of America. Most people want effortless fashion that is comfortable and timeless.

How has the 1940s fashion changed to now?
The fashion trends in the 1940s were inspired by the masculine touch. There were padded shoulders in the dresses of the ladies with A-line skirts going down to the knees. The shoes were mostly flat pumps with little or no heel. These trends are not found today in present fashion stores. Now, the trends have drastically changed over the past few years and have become more casual and trendy. Now women prefer to wear sleeveless and off the shoulder dresses. So the trend of padded sleeves is no more. Also, that trend was inspired by menswear so women wanted to ignore it. Back in the 1940s, short knee-length skirts and A-line dresses were the most important fashion trend. Most of the women celebrities wore them. A line-dresses are still in fashion today but not so much. Now, women prefer to wear maxis and tops. The fashion trends have become more modern and also more revealing. This is also because women want to look trendy and revealing now. They are broad-minded and want to be independent choosing to wear whatever they want. This is why and how fashion trends have changed from the 1940s.
