Introduction
Throughout history, the interior and fashion have constantly changed. With the change of epochs, the main fashion trends also changed. At the moment, many well-known designers, for example, Armani, Versace, and Trussardi produce both clothes and interior furniture at the same time, which in style and even texture echoes the clothes of the current season. Even the decor elements seem to be formed under the same trend, along with designer accessories or shoes. Many furniture houses are associated with fashion brands. The most famous design exhibitions are held in the cities where fashion weeks are held.
Main body
Fashion designers and interior designers refer to approximately the same references – from intricate Art Nouveau to modern art, from pop art to folklore motifs. The style that anticipated the design of the XX century can rightly be called the Victorian style. He is energetic, lively, free, and such freedom is sometimes lacking in the styles of previous and subsequent eras (Gordon, 2019). Thus, with the Victorian style, the close interaction of interior decoration with the concept that is now commonly called fashion began.
The Victorian interior style originated in England in the second half of the XIX century – during the reign of Queen Victoria. At that time, the industry was rapidly developing and flourishing, and capitalists were getting richer. Clothing, decor, furnishing, and furnishing — everything was done for show. Wealthy people could travel freely and study the culture, art, and life of other people. The distinctive features of the Victorian era style are, first of all, expensive natural fabrics of saturated “Gothic” colors – silk, satin, velvet, and cashmere. Interior decorations – fringe, heavy brushes, a combination of several things of different textures (Lasc, 2020). Thus, the appearance of new, previously non-existent materials in the 50s led to the fact that the style preferences of rationalism and modernism finally diverged. New shapes and new colors dictated new ideas – bright, bold, expressive. Convenience and ergonomics become important — furniture should not be only and not so much beautiful as comfortable (Pagni, 2019). Consequently, the approaches and principles of interior design and fashion change depending on what century is now and what is popular now.
At the moment, in my opinion, we are in search of style. Of course, the most relevant trend now is minimalism. In seasonal fashion and interior design, the same color scheme, shapes, and style are preserved. Or the trend toward everything natural and “eco.”Thus, this season, you can find materials and fabrics, for example, linen, cotton, or wood, in the interior and clothes. This trend extends even to food products, their packaging, and their design (Tredway, 2020). Living in big cities, we try to be as close to nature as possible and distance ourselves from anything artificial or harmful.
In the 1930-the 50s, the interior and fashion were undergoing changes again: rounded shapes were combined with modern trends. It is the same in clothes; we combine a comfortable style in clothes with vintage (Sosa Fontaine, 2021). The present time is a time of experimentation, a time of taking care of oneself and at the same time taking care of nature—the time of modern technology and the time of returning to naturalness and naturalness. That is why now people are moving on a new trajectory, and the relationship between interior and fashion does not reflect the past.
Conclusion
By way of conclusion, currently, the world of fashion and design is in search of new meanings, turning to past eras for inspiration, and eclectic styles, retro and neoclassical, are in fashion. The art of combining techniques becomes a sign of mastery, but this is a completely different story. Thus, it is fashionable to be yourself and emphasize individuality now. Fashion is weakening, which means that individuality, uniqueness, and uniqueness are at the forefront.
