Ever Wondered What People In The Last Century Used To Wear? Teenager Answers The Question In These Real Time Photos

A teenage Ohio State University student Annalisa Hartlaub had long pondered upon the question that a lot of people have thought about – how different would she have have looked like if she lived in some other decade of the past century? Hartlaub’s answer to the question was in a way her school assignment for her photography class in which she transformed herself into nearly a century of fashion trend changes, comparing mainstream and counterculture fashions of every decade from the 1920s till 2010s in her “Counter // Culture” project.

“I’ve always been fascinated, and a bit infatuated, with counterculture and how it shapes society and mainstream culture as well,” said Hartlaub. “So I decided to mix that interest with my love of fashion, makeup, and photography to create something.”

It’s interesting to see how, in many cases, many cultures gave way to a modified form of themselves in the next decade.  It’s also amazing to see how rich and unique fashion has been over the last century.
