Fashion history is something that is always fascinated me in this article specifically is talking about the color pink and how it’s been associated with femininity. It’s pretty well known that pink was not initially a “ Feminine” color and was often put on young boys but throughout time and influences through very powerful women pink became a very strong symbol of femininity and a symbol of desire for femininity. I really think this article was well written and had very good research done for it which is not something we always see when people are talking about historical trends and where things originated from. I loved seeing how at first pink was just seen as this dainty feminine color for women to wear but as more people of power begin to wear it It became a symbol of feminism where we have reclaimed this color that was assigned. I’m really intrigued to see where the trends with P!nk continue to go recently we’ve seen it a lot from high-end runway looks giving us extremely hot pink ensembles.
