1920s

1920s Fashion

For our third fashion history lesson, we studied the 1920s and Art Deco. The 1920s was an incredible decade that changed fashion as we know it. Skirt lengths shortened and women were finally liberated from the dreaded corset. The silhouette became more rectangular, undergarments were abandoned and women showed no cleavage. However, the waist was still aparent at the start of the decade.

By 1923, the waist had dropped, women became more flat chested and embroydery was heavy and glamorous. Fabrics such as sheer and chiffron were used (see through fabrics).

La Garconne

French for the bachelor girl, this word was used as a derogatory word by the elderly and a complement by the young. It was used to describe rebellious, tom boys with short hair and who wore men's clothing. They took part in pre-marital sex and other 'rebellious' activities.

By 1924, trousers were boudoir attire. For example, Paul Poiret's satin pajamas.

During this time, women began to reapply their makeup in public. This wouldn't have been allowed 20 years prior.

Despite the liberation of the corset, some women still used them to make their busts look flat. This was achieved by the freedom corset.

Menswear

The Prince of Wales became the 'it boy' for men's fashion. He was an idol, making fair Isle knits fashionable, and others such as: loose fitting tailoring 'bum freezer'; white flannel trousers and blazers; checkards; stripes; plaid. In 1925, the Oxford stripes became the trending trousers type. Loose fitting that had an average size of 40 inches! Despite the change of fashion from formal to casual, evening wear for men was still black tie and tails.

Lucian Lelong 1889-1958

Known as the man who saved Paris, Lelong stopped Hitler from moving Haute Cauture to Germany during the Second World War. Born into a family of designers, Lelong started a fashion business. He was a very smart business acumen. Unfortunately, he had to go to war. But once the war was over, he came right back into the fashion business. His business flourished with 1200 staff. Lelong was influenced by sport, due to this his designed are associated with fluidity. His dressmaking became engineering; he was a great innovator. Not to mention his 40 fagrances.

He developed the talent of up and coming designers, for example, Christian Dior. And in 1948, after nearly 30 years, Lelong closed his house for good.

Jean Patou 1887-1936

Not only a business man but also a ladies man. The two things Patou loved was women and business. That much so, he opened a dress shop after the First World War. He named it the House of Patou and got his family to work for him. Patou was inspired alot by Russian and Eastern influence, including his love of fur. He brought mens fabric into womens sportswear; similar to Coco Chanel. Patou saw trends like cubism and art decor, so used these in his work. Jean Patou did many iconic and unique things, such as; the first person to brand his work; brought over American models to work for him; created the most expensive perfume at the time, using 10600 jasmine flowers and 336 roses; created mens silk ties from biased cutting waste.

Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel (Coco Chanel) 1882-1971

Chanel did not start off wealthy, she was poor and didn't like her background. However, she lived a good life, despite the fact her mum died when she was 6. She lived and grew up in a nunnery making hats. Chanel was the first designer to create womens jersey taken from men's underwear. She paved her way into fashion by using sex and her sexuality. Her house was established at 31 ru cambon in 1909. At the time, Chanel No.5 was one of the best selling fragrances in the world! And the interlocking 'C's are the most famous fashion logo.

Art Deco

The Art Deco period is a movement in the decorative arts and architecture, originating in the 1920s in France after the First World War. It was developed into a major style in western Europe and United States during the 1930s. It was graphic, strong patterning with rich Egyptian colours; exoctic. For example:

Hoover factory, London 1932-1935

Chrysler building NYC.

An example of an Art Deco artist was Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

«Духи - это невидимый, непревзойденный модный аксессуар. Он оповещает о появлении женщины и продолжает напоминать о ней, когда она ушла.»

© Габриэль Бонер Шанель (Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel)

Зимний вечер, Запах цедры, Елка млеет от тепла, Оплывают тихо свечи, За окном притихли ветры, Звон хрустального стекла...

Вдруг из плоского флакона, Приподняв зимы вуаль, Вопреки земным канонам, Вихрем вылетел мистраль.

Шлейф его - цветенье сада В мелком бисере росы, На холмах у винограда Плач восторженный лозы.

Фиолетовой волною Провансальская лаванда -Что красивей? - спорит с морем, Ошалев от аромата.

Спорит с солнцем сантолина С золотыми лепестками В пелене седого дыма С неземным благоуханьем.

И смешеньем ароматов Породил мистраль парфюм, Запах женщины Монмарта, Украшение костюма.

Лучше не было одежды У Мерлин Монро для снов, Чем "Шанель" со шлейфом нежным, Лишь две капельки духов.

finally, scythe chanel's profile (short bc i like being simple !!)

Scythe Chanel

Appearance: Very pale skin, sea green eyes, blonde hair that definitely hasn't been taken care of, eyebags, and moderate ptosis on eyelids (3mm droop), scars on her hands

Preferred method of gleaning: Blade, uses a bladed tessen

Despite being taught by an Old Guard scythe (Scythe Teresa), Gabrielle seems to lay with the New Order's ideals and beliefs. However, she strangely hasn't appeared with gems on her robe to align herself, so it is unknown if she fully agrees with New Order.

Donne del 900: Coco Chanel

Le donne del 900 hanno avuto un ruolo importante nella società. Dalla prima guerra mondiale che le ha costrette a sostituire gli uomini sui luoghi di lavoro non si sono più fermate. Hanno compreso il loro valore e le loro potenzialità e dato il loro contributo un po' in tutti i campi. Una delle donne simbolo del Novecento è senza ombra di dubbio Coco Chanel, la regina della moda. Donne del 900: chi era Coco Chanel Nata come Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel il 19 agosto 1883 a Saumur, in Francia, Chanel ha rivoluzionato l'industria della moda con la sua visione audace e il suo spirito innovativo. Il suo impatto non è stato solo nel mondo dell'abbigliamento, ma si è esteso anche alla società stessa, cambiando per sempre il modo in cui le donne si vestivano e si vedevano. Coco Chanel ha trascorso i primi anni della sua vita in un orfanotrofio, dove acquisì le abilità di sartoriale che avrebbero plasmato la sua carriera. Fu questo ambiente che la spinse a cercare l'eleganza e la semplicità nelle sue creazioni, rompendo gli schemi delle mode precedenti, caratterizzate spesso da corsetti stretti e accessori eccessivi. I simboli di Chanel Il suo ingresso nell'industria della moda avvenne negli anni '20, un'epoca di grande fermento culturale e sociale. Chanel colse l'occasione per introdurre un nuovo stile, uno che incarnava l'essenza della libertà e dell'indipendenza femminile. Le sue creazioni rivoluzionarie includevano abiti sartoriali, giacche dal taglio maschile, e soprattutto il celebre little black dress: il "piccolo vestito nero", ovvero il tubino nero, un capo iconico che sarebbe diventato un simbolo di eleganza senza tempo. Ma Chanel non si limitò alla moda; la sua influenza si estese anche al mondo della profumeria. Nel 1921, lanciò il profumo Chanel No. 5, un'essenza rivoluzionaria per il suo tempo, con una fragranza audace e un design minimalista. Ancora oggi, Chanel No. 5 rimane uno dei profumi più venduti al mondo, testimoniando la sua duratura eredità. Comprendere le donne del 900 Ciò che rendeva unica Coco Chanel era la sua capacità di anticipare i desideri e i bisogni delle donne moderne. Lei comprendeva che la moda doveva essere funzionale oltre che elegante, e le sue creazioni incarnavano questa filosofia. Le donne di tutto il mondo si identificarono con il suo stile senza tempo e con il suo messaggio di emancipazione femminile. Ma l'eredità di Chanel va oltre il mondo della moda. Fu una pioniera nell'ambito degli affari, costruendo un impero che sopravvisse anche a periodi di turbolenza economica e sociale. La sua determinazione e il suo spirito intraprendente la resero un esempio per le donne di tutto il mondo, dimostrando che con talento e lavoro duro si possono superare qualsiasi ostacolo. Nonostante il suo successo straordinario, Chanel rimase sempre una figura enigmatica. Era nota per la sua riservatezza e il suo atteggiamento distaccato, che la facevano apparire come un'individuo solitario anche quando era circondata da ammiratori e seguaci. Il suo stile di vita personale, contraddistinto da relazioni tumultuose e una serie di alti e bassi, aggiunse un alone di mistero alla sua figura già leggendaria. Tuttavia, nonostante le sfide personali, Chanel continuò a concentrarsi sulla sua arte, creando capolavori che avrebbero lasciato un'impronta indelebile sulla storia della moda. Anche dopo la sua morte nel 1971, l'influenza di Coco Chanel continua a risuonare nell'industria della moda. Le sue creazioni sono ancora celebrati per la loro eleganza senza tempo e la sua idea di femminilità continua a ispirare donne e designer di tutto il mondo.

Chanel: Innovating Fashion and Pioneering Modern Women's Wear

Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, or Coco Chanel as she is more widely known, stands as one of the 20th century's most influential fashion designers and the founder of the global fashion powerhouse, Chanel. Her impact extended far beyond mere aesthetics, as she revolutionized the world of women's fashion and served as an innovator who liberated women's bodies, paving the way for modern clothing and inspiring countless designers and women alike.

Born into modest circumstances in Saumur, France, in 1883, Chanel's childhood was marked by hardship. Following her father's abandonment and her mother's passing, she found solace and learned the art of sewing in a convent, laying the foundation for her future design endeavors. The convent's stained glass motifs are also believed to have inspired the iconic Chanel logo. As an adult, she worked as a seamstress and singer, earning the nickname "Coco" from a stage performance. Through a relationship with Etienne Balsan, she gained exposure to high society and fashion, fostering a desire to improve women's restrictive clothing, particularly for activities like horseback riding.

Fueled by this ambition, Chanel launched her first venture in 1909, offering comfortable and practical hats in Paris. The following year, she opened her first store on Cambon Street, where she began her rebellion against the traditional, impractical, and often constricting fashion of the era. Championing practicality and comfort, she introduced designs like pants and shorter skirts, empowering women with freedom of movement. Her creations, including the timeless "little black dress," reinvented from mourning attire, knitted jerseys adapted from men's undergarments, and the iconic tweed suit, led a full-fledged fashion revolution. Her fame soared not only in France but also internationally, solidifying Chanel's brand as a leader in both style and comfort. Further contributing to her legacy, the groundbreaking Chanel bag offered a novel and practical design with a shoulder strap, while the timeless No. 5 perfume, launched in 1921, captivated with its unique scent and minimalist Art Deco bottle, becoming a pioneer in the fragrance industry.

Despite personal controversies surrounding relationships with prominent figures and her actions during World War II, Chanel returned to the fashion world at the age of 71 after a 15-year hiatus. She once again found success in the United States, reclaiming her position as a top designer. Even after her passing at 87, her designs and philosophy continue to resonate deeply with women today. Her emphasis on comfortable yet sophisticated styles, the incorporation of menswear elements, and the enduring elegance of black remain beloved by many.

Coco Chanel's legacy extends beyond fashion. She shattered stereotypes, defied conventions, and opened a new era for women's clothing. By abandoning constricting garments and presenting comfortable and stylish alternatives, she did more than design clothes; she offered a liberating approach to fashion that resonated with a new definition of women's social advancement, self-reliance, and beauty. Her message, delivered through innovative designs, was loud and clear: women could chart their course, independent and empowered. This message continues to inspire women and designers alike, ensuring that Coco Chanel's impact remains forever etched in the annals of fashion history.
