Where is the fashion world today and where did it all start?

I am doing a report on fashion in english.
I was just wondering what fashion era do you think has come back the most.
(example: 80′s fashion have come back the most)

"Start", I can’t help you with, it goes way back into pre-history, with ancient beads and necklaces being found in graves..

But an early piece by Charles Darwin may make for a surprise quotation, (And suggest that *anything* can become fashionable, and raise the question: if it does, what proportion of people will manage to resist it?)

"One unbecoming fashion is now almost universal: namely, shaving the hair from the upper part of the head, in a circular form, so as to leave only an outer ring. The missionaries have tried to persuade the people to change this habit; but it is the fashion, and that is a sufficient answer at Tahiti, as well as at Paris."
See the seventh paragraph in the reference below for other fashions that Darwin obseerved.
