i have a 300 (a 120 of which need to be analytical) point project for my honors history class and we’ve been given the project of “The History and Evolution of ______”

I’ve chosen fashion and I’m having trouble thinking of projects i could do. We can do multiple projects that are worth different amounts of points, but all need to add up to 300. I’m writing a paper, maybe doing some drawings of outfits, and doing a timeline, but what else do you think i could do?
the history and evolution of fashion through just the 20th century.

   consider fabric samples and economic impact of…slavery/no slavery on price of cotton; price and supply of silk during WWII (think silk stockings) (was not really available to consumers/producers of fashion b/c it was being “reserved” to make parachutes,etc. – same with leather for shoes, jackets – went to military)
   BTW England supported the South during the Civil War because England wanted the South’s supply of cotton – there’s a political impact…
   …NASA’s contrib to fashion thru the creation of synthetic materials…
   …to name a few..good luck!

   You could do something on the scandalous fashions of the time… the flappers of the 20′s, the mini skirt of the 60′s, the bikini etc…
