Fashion Cycles Throughout History Question
So I'm very curious, but I admittedly do have limited knowledge on this subject. I know fashion is very cyclical, and it seems like in modern times, styles from the 20th century are regularly make recurrences. For instance, Y2k is having a moment now, which had borrowed from 1970s styles prior, and so on.
My question is, was fashion as cyclical in earlier periods? Like did Regency fashion come back around during the late Victorian era? Or did each time period really just have its own unique fashion that wasn't repeating from earlier time periods? Why does historical fashion seem so much less cyclical than modern fashion?
