Abstract
The war served as a catalyst for artists to introspect on society and human nature, prompting a reevaluation of women’s status. Shifts in perceptions of women’s gender roles subsequently manifested in alterations to their clothing styles. The enduring influence of modern clothing on women’s self-identity underscores the profound and lasting impact of these changes. The intricate connection between war and the evolution of women’s fashion goes beyond mere sartorial transformations, as it serves as a mirror reflecting broader societal shifts within the realm of fashion.
