La Garçonne – "The Tomboy" look of the 1920s
La Garçonne fashion was inspired by a 1922 novel of the same name, where the protagonist is an independent young woman who leaves home to find her way in the world. Because women's view of themselves began to undergo rapid change after the war, the world of western fashion changed along with this new-found liberation.

This look provoked adjectives such as ‘slender’, ‘svelte’ and ‘sleek’ on fashion magazine pages. The required silhouette was indeed boyish: trousers, masculine suit jackets, and ties at its extreme and dropped waists and higher hemlines at its most moderate. Newsboy caps, varsity style sweaters, and the famous bob haircut were also popular among the more daring of women. And, of course, cigarette smoking by women became synonymous with liberation.

We went back to 1920 this time at Casa Palazuelo in Madrid to celebrate the 150th anniversary of renowned architect Antonio Palacios! We had a wonderful day exploring his work, had lunch at a historical venue, walked around the city, and had some torrijas. Everyone surprised me with candles on one and wished me an early happy birthday, it was so sweet 🥺❤️

The first ensemble of "Murder and Mozzarella" (Season 3, Episode 3) features Phryne's classic car coat on top of her printed silk chiffon blouse and classic navy wide-leg pants.
Miss Fisher's usual travel outfit, she wears a flattering red and white silk chiffon blouse patterned with outlines of stacked gingko leaves. Cut in the same style as many of her other shirts, it has a v-shaped neckline and a long tie that loops around the neck and either fastens together or hangs loose at the front. Underneath is a white square-neck camisole with decorative scallop edging along the top.
She pairs this with her navy wide-leg pants and dark heels, as well as her linen hat and matching travel coat. Known as the "ode to detectives" by Marion Boyce, the costume designer, the linen coat is both practical and dramatic, suitable for weathering the elements while traveling or exploring. It has a line of brown and cream horn buttons to fasten the coat, and a wide collar with rounded points. This coat is the most reused item of clothing in the series, with twenty separate appearances across all three seasons (twice in 1x02, 1x03, 1x04, 1x06, 1x08, 1x09, twice in 1x13, 2x01, 2x04, 2x06, 2x07, 2x10, 2x12, here in 3x03, twice in 3x04 and twice in 3x08).
Phryne accessorizes with her linen bucket hat, often seen accompanying her coat (twice in 1x02, 1x04, 1x06, 1x08, 1x09, 1x13, 2x02, 2x03, 2x04, 2x06, 2x07, 2x10, 2x12, and here in 3x03 as well), and a pair of frosted white earrings with silver caps (bottom left of the costume exhibition photo). As suitable for an adventurous lady of the '20s, she also wears linen crocheted driving gloves with leather accents, and a large cream handbag.
