Intro: History of Fashion at The Governor's Academy

My name is Isabella Wood and for my Senior Spring Term Project I am researching the history of fashion at Govs. I chose to do this project because I have always loved fashion and am hoping to study it in college. I also know how much fashion and style affects us, even if we don’t realize it. Students at Govs are often heard passionately debating the dress code, discussing prom dresses, or complimenting each other on a new haircut. But were things similar in the 1960’s? The 1980’s? The early 2000’s? My goal is to take popular fashion-related topics that Govs students are interested in and look at how things were in a different decade. Through research in the Archives, I am working on collecting pictures from various files and Milestones in order to show how much Govs fashion has (or hasn’t) changed. Each blog post will be relating to a different topic and time period and I will update the blog weekly.
