The ballet flat's intersection with fashion

Explanation:

Claire McCardell was a fashion designer. His creations were aimed at reaching the common woman who had housewife duties, but who did not want to give up style.

In 1940, McCardell found himself with little access to the fabrics that were most requested by his clients. This limitation of tissue was the result of the Second World War, when all resources in all sectors were scarce and limited. McCardell had to reinvent himself and at that moment he started using less noble fabrics, but they were easily found in the USA. To overcome the scarcity of leather for the production of shoes, she decided to use ballet flat and combine it with stylish clothes that corresponded to the situation and the fashion that was being established at that time.
