The story centres around the impact of culture on style. From the 60s, 70s, and 80s to the present day, the project showcases the many changes and innovations in a fashion that have emerged over time.

From the bright and flamboyant styles of the 1980s to the sophisticated and understated looks of today, this endeavour showcases a wide variety of “time capsule” trends. Each one is a microcosm of that period and place, complete with the intricacies of its subcultures and socioeconomic status.  Art imitates life with similar complexity and intricacy.

NEW AMERICANA analyzes the evolution of fashion through a black lens and focuses on feminine style and culture. Empowering its audience with a distinctive display of fashion, colour, and variety.
