Late 20th Century

Following World War II, the pace of change accelerated. New materials, new conflicts, and new cultural movements reshaped both military and civilian dress in dramatic ways.

Our Late 20th Century collection reflects the transformation from postwar austerity to mid-century optimism, from the structured silhouettes of the 1950s to the cultural revolutions of the 1960s and beyond. As synthetic fabrics became more widely used, fashion responded to modern life, practical, expressive, and increasingly diverse.

This period includes military portrayals from World War II through the Korean Conflict, Vietnam War, and late-century operations, along with evolving police, fire, and emergency service uniforms. Civilian wardrobes reflect everything from conservative postwar America to the bold experimentation of the 1970s and 1980s.

From tailored mid-century refinement to bell-bottoms and late-century field uniforms, we provide complete wardrobe solutions for productions depicting the defining events and everyday lives of the latter part of the twentieth century.
