Boy Fashion Picture

Boy fashion picture are articles that begin with a photograph of a boy wearing clothing. While the articles began as a focus on historical boys clothing, they eventually became more broadly focused on the idea that fashions are cultural artifacts, and that what is worn is not only a form of self-expression, but also tells us a great deal about the period, the culture, the world at large.

In China, for example, the boys clothing known as a lungi is an important part of a boy’s daily wardrobe. It is long enough to cover their feet when they are sitting, but it can be easily shortened to just above the knee when playing and running around. The Chinese Communists, following their victory in the civil war of 1949, imposed uniformity in fashion and other aspects of daily life, resulting in the loss of many traditional forms of expression.

The reason for this change in values is unclear. Perhaps it was a result of the horrors of the war, which caused men to question all old certainties, including the frivolity of formal clothing. It is possible that the change in value was a consequence of poverty, as well, since many families were unable to afford new clothing for their sons.
