Fashion 1950's introduction - Teenagers were the driving force behind fashion in the 1950s. Up until that time, clothing trends had largely been set by fashion houses that catered to the adult market and the dress style of young people had simply followed adult fashions. Teenage fashion quickly developed into a huge industry in its own right. The 1950s were a transition from the conservatism, restraint and smartness of the 1940s, to a freer, looser, more relaxed style. Throughout the decade it became much more acceptable for males to dress 'for show' and both sexes became much more fashion conscious.
