Fashion — 1995-1999
Leotard
A black leotard with long sleeves and a turquoise pattern of interlocking spikes in the front. It has a plastic clasp at the back and a velour finish.
These Keep Fit Association exercise clothes, which include a tunic and knickers and a leotard, demonstrate how sportswear has developed and become subject to fashion. The replacement of the tunic by the leotard also symbolised changes in the association's practice and its development of Laban-based movement.
Laban Movement Analysis, which was devised by Rudolf Laban, is a system and language for observing, describing and notating all forms of movement.
