100 Years of Beauty


These 100 years of beauty videos are interesting. The one I've linked here is the USA one but they have made them for several different countries.

The video runs through 100 years of beauty for the country in question. It splits the beauty trends up into decades, (1910's, 1920's &so on) it's more of a presentation of fashion, but is popular fashion not a beauty standard of sorts? Beauty is informed by fashion, fashion is informed by beauty. The whole "buy the product get the girl" or "buy the product to be like the girl to get the man" paradigm of advertising.

Obviously this is just a fun video to see how fashion / beauty has changed over 100 years.
