The Great Depression also had an impact on fashion, contributing to the democratization of fashion. Prior to the 1930s, buyers would purchase copies of designs from Paris and resell them in their countries. However, during the Great Depression, new exorbitant duties were imposed on the cost of those copies, yet toiles (a muslin or other cheap material garment pattern) were allowed in duty-free. Toiles came with full directions and made it possible to sell simplified versions of original costly dresses for a fraction of the price.
While at its core it was primarily a literary movement, the Harlem Renaissance touched all of the African American creative arts. While its participants were determined to truthfully represent the African American experience and believed in racial pride and equality, they shared no common political philosophy, social belief, artistic style, or aesthetic principle. This was a movement of individuals free of any overriding manifesto. While central to African American artistic and intellectual life, by no means did it enjoy the full support of the black or white intelligentsia; it generated as much hostility and criticism as it did support and praise. From the moment of its birth, its legitimacy was debated. Nevertheless, by at least one measure, its success was clear: the Harlem Renaissance was the first time that a considerable number of mainstream publishers and critics took African American literature seriously, and it was the first time that African American literature and the arts attracted significant attention from the nation at large.
