'-ing' Form of Adjective, Noun, and Gerund

Fashion In The 90’s
                In the 1930’s, fashion mostly comprised of spectacular geometric lines inspired by elegant moments in the deco’s art. Designers emphasized the feminine form in the 1930’s and gave soft lines to women dresses.
                However, if we have a look at 1940’s trends, because of the limitations of the war, trends changed and women’s clothing became more masculine.
                As the world went through the wounds of the war, Christian Dior was creating a silhouette that elicited a thin waist and feminism. In the 1950’s trends were determined by Dior's new-look style. All Hollywood stars, especially Marilyn Monroe, embraced this new trend.
                Looking from the past to the present, I think the 1990’s were also one of the most remarkable times in fashion world. Casual style was greatly affected by minimalism and grunge. We see the reflections of the 80’s at the beginning of the 90’s-tights, shoulder pads, large t-shirts and neon colours were indispensable.
                As we can see in today's fashion, it is like a reflection and combination of the past. We see fashion is like a circle where designers travel back and combine the old fashion with new creative ideas. It looks like we will continue traveling in the fashion circle in the forthcoming years.

Explanation:
1.       However, if we have a look at 1940’s trends, because of the limitations of the war, trends changed and women’s clothing became more masculine.
                Based on the sentence above ‘clothing’ is –ing form of noun. And ‘clothing’ has two morphological unit identified ‘cloth’ as root and ‘-ing’ as suffix.

2.       As the world went through the wounds of the war, Christian Dior was creating a silhouette that elicited a thin waist and feminism.
                Based on the sentence above ‘creating’ is the present participle as adjective. ‘Creating’ has two morphological identified ‘create’ as root and ‘-ing’ as suffix. ‘Create’ as verb and since ‘create’ is modified by suffix –ing, the unit ‘create + -ing’ has changed into present participle. Thus, ‘creating’ is –ing form of adjective.

3.       We see the reflections of the 80’s at the beginning of the 90’s-tights, shoulder pads, large t-shirts and neon colours were indispensable.
                Based on the sentence above ‘beginning’ is –ing form of noun. And ‘beginning’ has two morphological unit identified ‘begin’ as root and ‘-ing’ as suffix.

4.       It looks like we will continue traveling in the fashion circle in the forthcoming years.

                Based on the sentence above ‘traveling’ is –ing form of gerund. Since the previous word ‘continue’ is verb as gerund, it must be following verb + -ing. ‘Traveling’ has two morphological unit identified ‘travel’ as root and ‘-ing’ as suffix.
