restrained elegance in art, fashion, and architecture.
Explanation:
The Edwardian period of British history covers the first decade of the 20th century, and is sometimes extended until the beginning of the First World War. This period followed the Victorian Era, and the fashion and style trends that dominated were set by the king, Edward VII, who was a fashionable heir and great admirer or continental Europe. In terms of fashion, clothes became much lighter, tighter and more fitting as a response to the more active lifestyle of the people, and specially that of women. A constant tone of simple and restrained elegance dominated all types of art, including architecture, and would be very influential on the development of Art Nouveau.
