The history of fashion in images - from ancient times to 2000s

I am getting closer to the moment I have to find my inspiration for my first collection (this Saturday I will start my 5th week of fashion design course) and I am nowhere close to find it. Is in this context that I started to study a little bit the history of fashion and before getting into details I really felt the need of having a compilation of images to easily illustrate the evolution of fashion. There are many resources on the internet and many interesting articles focusing on specific fashion eras, I just picked different images that are relevant for what I am looking for. I am aware that some of those images might be subject to copyright, so I am going to mention the source for every image.

Waaaw, this was an amazing virtual trip for me! 
Can anyone find me an iconic image for 2000s fashion?
Or we are just recycling?
