2011 Fashion Trends
Fashion is certainly guilty of being ephemeral. One day, hemlines have risen to micromini proportions; a week later everyone is wearing floor-grazing maxi skirts—and then, just when you thought nineties minimalism had officially made a comeback, a print explosion suddenly takes over the runways. This transitory nature is documented each month in the “Flash: Talking Fashion” section of Vogue—where we dissect the most compelling trends from the runways and feature the real women who wore them best. As the year draws to a close, we look back at each issue from 2011 and highlight the top twelve fashion and accessories trends that left a lasting impression on us.
Arab Spring (December 17, 2010 – present) – a revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests occurring in the Arab world that began on Friday, December 17, 2010. In December 2010, protests first began, in Tunisia and Algeria. On January 14, 2011, the President of Tunisia, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, resigned after 23 years as President. On January 25, 2011, protests against President Hosni Mubarak began in Egypt. Mubarak resigned on February 11, 2011. Protests against Muammar Gaddafi's 42-year-rule then began in Libya, which later developed into a nationwide uprising, and, eventually, a civil war. At the same time, protests started in numerous other Arab countries, including Yemen, Jordan, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia. On January 26, 2011, protests against President Bashar al-Assad's rule began in Syria. In March 2011, the uprising intensified, and the Syrian Army was deployed by the government, to quell the popular uprising. In 2012, the Syrian conflict became a civil war, and fighting between the regime forces and the opposition intensified. The Syrian civil war still continues, to the present-day.
Libyan civil war (February 15 – October 23, 2011) – a series of demonstrations and riots held against Muammar Gaddafi's 42-year rule. The widespread demonstrations, which erupted in response to the high unemployment rate in Libya and the lack of development in the country, rapidly escalated into a civil war as Gaddafi used his military force against the Libyan rebels. As a result, fifty thousand Libyans have died.[12] The civil war came to an end when Gaddafi was killed during the liberation of Sirte on 20 October 2011.
