Fashion in Zagreb between 1914 -1918

The assassination of Austro-Hungarian heir presumptive Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914 had significant repercussions throughout the Monarchy. The end of World War I in 1918 brought about the dissolution of Austro-Hungarian Empire and the establishment of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs and its union to the Kingdom of Serbia to form the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. In this new political climate, the life in Croatian capital Zagreb is dominated by the bourgeoisie. The dress culture of this period is marked by dramatic changes induced by various manifestations at the onset of the war, poverty and the overall climate of uncertainty. The reconstruction of the society's attitude towards fashion and the analysis of the reflection of the social structure in garments are conducted through the examination of Zagreb press of that time as a historical source. Available footage and clothing artifacts are analyzed for traces of trend shifts and adjustments to new regulations and restrictions. The primary focus of the analysis is women's fashion ; a strong influence of the military uniform is reflected in simplified cuts and the decline in the application of redundant and deficient embellishments. This period brought the rise of domestic handicraft and the reemergence of traditional national motifs in fashion.
