Patchwork in the History of Fashion
To better understand the patchwork trend, let’s take a look at the backstory of this crafty art. Patchwork is a technique of sewing together small pieces of fabric to create a larger design. Patchwork clothing has been around for centuries, with evidence of patchwork garments dating back to ancient Egyptian times.
In Western fashion, patchwork clothing first became popular in the 1960s and 1970s, during the hippie and bohemian movements. The use of patchwork was seen as a way to reject the mass-produced clothing of the time and embrace individuality and handmade craftsmanship. During this time, patchwork was often used on denim jackets, skirts, and pants, as well as on dresses and blouses. The bright and bold colours and patterns of patchwork clothing were often associated with the psychedelic aesthetic of the era.
In the 1990s, patchwork clothing experienced a resurgence in popularity, with designers like Anna Sui, Betsey Johnson, and Marc Jacobs incorporating patchwork into their collections. The 1990s version of patchwork clothing was often more subdued and featured earth tones and muted colours.
