We have some, but limited information on the 20th century. Not as much as most countries, but we do have some informtion. As in other countries, photograohy moved outside the studio. Ans when larger number of images, we finally have some informatiin on Portugal. Realiveky few Portuguese, however, could afford cameras and this we have relatively few family snapshots. We do not kow of any specifically Portuguese styles. As far as we know, the chronological trends in Portugal are essentially the same as those of neighboring Spain. The styles and trends are generally similar to wider European styles, although the poverty of Portugal was a major factor affecting clothing nd fashion. Especially notable is the number od Portuhuse children and even sdults who are barefoot. This is a reflctiion of the endemic poverty in the country. This has changed since the Revolution replacing long-time dictator António de Oliveira Salazar (1975) and Portugals entry into the European Union (1986). While conditions hsve improved, since joining the the European Union (1985). Portugal has, however, still not developed a modern, prosperous economy, but benefits from EU membership. All of this continues to affect clothing and fashion.
