Fashion in the period 1750–1795 in
European and European-influenced countries reached heights of fantasy and
abundant ornamentation, especially among the
aristocracy of
France, before a long-simmering movement toward simplicity and democratization of dress under the influence of
Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the
American Revolution led to an entirely new mode and the triumph of
British tailoring following the
French Revolution.
