Fashion styles from The French Revolution to the Roaring Twenties
If the French Revolution rolled king's heads and spread turmoil well beyond the country's frontiers, it also revolutionized fashion styles. Designer Perrette Samouiloff takes us through an interesting voyage, picking three emblematic time periods.
First, the troubled times just after the revolution, when people gathered in the streets of Paris around a freshly planted Tree of Liberty flying the colors of the brand-new French flag. Blue, white and red stripes, worn by commoner women, became an instant fashion statement of the time.
 |
|  |
Then to the romantic times when Napoleon wooed Josephine. Wigs and heavy dresses where suddenly done with. Graceful young ladies bared their arms, dressed their hair up in ribbons, and wore light, high waisted dresses, changing a woman's silhouette altogether, the start of the popular Empire style that would spread to the whole world.
 |
|  |
Finally, by time that wonderful machine - the automobile - appeared on the streets, women abandoned long skirts and tight waists altogether and went for straight dresses and short hair that gave them wonderful freedom - whether to drive a convertible or dance to the rythm of Charleston.
