American Modernism

American Moderists choose to work in the United States, Sometimes they were a different nationality but would be named as American, and adopted American's land, Society and Culture as there own.

The wedding dresses were very different to the traditional ones now a days, they are very dark coloured and have a high turtle neck. the top has lots of ruffles with flowers on to create a sense of elegance. The veil looks quite heavy and does float as much as one from our era, and the bottom half of the veil is folded over to be the same length as the dress. She isnt holding a bunch flowers, but has a few flower type items in her hand instead.

The first ever femele photo journalist was a women called Jessie Tarbox Beals. She wore a dark outfit which seems to be a running theme throughout this time. The top has a bow type lace around the collar which falls down the front. With that, she wore a full skirt that comes down to the top of the shoes and a thin black belt to hold it up. The jacket which is over the top has folded cuffs and a large folded collar which comes down quite low, this would have been her everyday work outfit.

The Native American Indians wore quite a loose back top with a white strips at the sleeves, with little line buttons to fasten. The bottom skirt looks kind of like a carpet/ blanket type skirt, which has been wrapped around with the fringe hanging from the bottom and the edge, This is held up with a curtain type tassles which have been braided. This is paired with a basic material shoe.
