Abstract
  • In the years from 1954 to 1956 Agnes Eriksen filled three fashion sketchbooks that contained ⅛ scale patterns, fabric swatches, and styling notations for eighteen garments. I plan to recreate and sew together Agnes Eriksen’s fashion designs into a small snapshot of these three years. The 1950s is a particularly misunderstood era for fashion as there are many of misconceptions about how people dressed. Focuses of this era are usually on the high fashion magazines, or subcultures, so this documentation will provide more real-world context for this time. The recreation of Agnes’ garments will serve as a snapshot of her life, and a documentation of life and fashion in the 1950s.
  • Key Words: fashion, encapsulate, snapshot, 1950s, patterns, fashion sketchbooks
