History How it developed
TIME 1920
• Clothing was made more comfortably and sportswear was also allowed to be worn. • There was a certain androgynous look to women's fashion that borrowed from men's clothing liberally. • Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel introduced sportswear garments for everyday wear.
1990
• Sports clothing enjoyed increased popularity as casual wear among teenagers in the early 1990s. • Track suits with a loose nylon outer shell became popular, and replaced the older style of velour track suits."
1995
• Mod-inspired styles became popular in 1995 among teenaged girls and young women. • These included straight leg jeans, baby t-shirts, plaid miniskirts, and short jackets with oversized zippers.
late
90s
• Hip-hop fashion developed into a style more distinct from other sporty styles. • Baggy jeans, hooded sweatshirts, football jerseys, puffy jackets, and large gold chains became staples of the hip-hop look.
LINE 2004
• The fashion industry has artfully latched onto fitness obsession. • Stella McCartney designed her first collection for Adidas. • Marc Jacobs, Liberty and A.P.C have fiddled with the post-gym look and big high street brands such as H&M and Gap have launched new 'work-out inspired' fashion lines.
2013
• The sportswear look started to filter through into high-fashion casual-wear with the sporty aesthetic being reinterpreted as casual-chic.
NOW
• Double page spreads in fashion magazines and the latest creations on the catwalk are proof that high-fashion designers are starting to draw inspiration from sports-apparel. • High-end designers are using performance fabrics to create the sporty vibe. Fabrics like Airtex, mesh, fleece, jersey and rib knits are used to create a sporty look with simple silhouettes, clean designs and an athletic aesthetic.
