Kim Kardashian In Bebe

Is it me or is does this girl spend a lot of time at the nail salon? Kim Kardashian was wearing Bebe jeans on one of her many trips to the nail salon. Kim has been spotted in these a few months back. To me these jeans resemble the 7 For All Mankind in Super Vintage Nakita. I prefer the outfit with the sandals more than with the boots. Which do you prefer?

Textile Technology Developments Amid Lifestyle Changes

Technological improvements in the last forty years of the 20^th century included improved fabric technology and automated garment construction techniques.  Busy lifestyles, easier home laundering and workplace changes embracing dress down Fridays, have encouraged a more relaxed attitude to clothing in many situations.  Dress adapted to meet these needs.

Man Made Fibres and Blends

Rayon, the regenerated fibre developed in the late Victorian era was joined by a new kind of fibre also man made, but totally synthesised from chemicals found in the petrol industry.  Synthetic fibres developed in the 1930s and 1940s, came into general use in the 1950s.  Polyamide (Nylon), Polyester, Polyacrylonitriles (Acrylics), Polyolefins and Polyurethanes (Spandex, and Lycra) were all the rage in the 1950s and 1960s.

Later combinations with natural fibres such as wool or cotton introduced the consumer to the concept of easy care fibre blends with a natural feel.  Polycotton garments and the reduced costs of wool and acrylic mixed knits encouraged people to discard clothes more easily as clothes sewn with speedier operations could also be produced faster at less cost.
Viscose rayon was courted again in the 1980s, when there was the start of a reaction against synthetic fibres.  Viscose crinkle fabrics and fabrics with exceptional drape or sheer effects wooed the consumer back. 
By 2000 designers had caught on to adding Lycra or Spandex to fibres like viscose and acetate and created garments with great comfort and better shape retention in wear.
Chemists concentrated in improving all the man made fibres and by the 1980s, new variations which produced luxury look fabrics hit the marketplace.  These improvements in fibre manufacture continue today and the buzzword for the 1990s was microfibres.
