Fashion Revivals
Valerie Steele, director and chief curator, The Museum at FIT, on fashion revivals: “I don’t think that nostalgia is really what motivates consumers, it’s just that they are more comfortable with entities or things that they recognize. Since they have already seen what fashion was like in the past (in photographs or movies), they respond better to those nostalgic designs than to more current-looking ones.”
