This enlightening and entertaining video by Peter Kendall shows the effects of social mood on hemlines during the past 200 years. It begins with subtle changes in the 1800s, when hemlines climbed from the floor to just above the ankles, and tracks how they rose and fell to extremes over the course of the 20th century and beyond.

How It Works
The science of socionomics starts with an indisputable observation: How people FEEL influences what they DO. If you know how someone is feeling, you have a leg up on predicting how they will behave.
We zoom out. We look at how society is feeling so that we can understand—and even anticipate—how society behaves. As we track social mood in real time across the globe, we chart how its changes produce shifts in everything from the songs people want to hear to the leaders they elect to their desire for peace to their hunger for scandals to the trajectories of their stock markets, and more.
This is the great insight. It’s what enables the Socionomics Institute – and its members – to stay ahead of all others.
Each month the institute’s analysts show members how today’s – and tomorrow’s – most important trends will unfold. They give members an unrivaled perspective on the future, putting them miles ahead of herd.
