There are times in history, the 1950s and early 1900s, where clothing material was of high quality. Boys didn&#8217;t own a hundred sweatshirts, but one nice coat. They wore ties and belts, and pants on their hips. Girls had wool skirts, leather shoes, pressed shirts. Pieces were of quality. In the 1970s &#8211; 2,000 we see a change in fashion and more products were made of plastic, made in China, and knock offs. Everything is Polyester or bought ripped. And now, going into the 2017, we see a trend repeat itself. Minimalism is trendy. Quality is making a comeback. And products are more expensive but lasts longer. I believe fashion trends relates to how we see information. In the 1950s and earlier, education and knowledge was sought after. Women craved for opportunities to learn. Evenings were spent developing your talents. It was common to read and become knowledgable. When clothing started to take a turn with its quality, so did education. Learning wasn&#8217;t as important as instant gratification. People were looking for the easy way out. And now, we see a trend is repeating itself. It is cool again to be knowledgable, to read, to be a &#8220;hipster&#8221;. It is cool to care, to be different, to make an impact. I think history is prone to repeat itself. That is why I find graphs of history so interesting. I think there is great knowledge in learning from the past and learning from their decisions. And as stated\u00a0 by\u00a0franco moretti&#8217; &#8220;quantitative data are useful because they are independent of interpretation.&#8221; And this is my interpretation of a graph.
