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.

LA GARÇONNE (1936) dir. Jean de Limur The eponymous garçonne or flapper is Monique Lerbier, an emancipated French woman who leaves home to escape a marriage of convenience to a man she does not love which her parents have forced on her. She then falls into all sorts of carnal temptations and artificial pleasures previously unknown to her. These include her being seduced into a love affair by a chanteuse (played by Edith Piaf), ensuring the film became a succès de scandale. (link in title)

"La mode se démode, le style jamais."

Coco Chanel, auteure de cette citation est née le 19 août 1883. Prénommée Gabrielle, elle rêve de music-hall dans sa jeunesse, avant de mettre à profit ses connaissances en matière de couture. En confectionnant ses propres chapeaux et des tenues très originales pour l'époque, elle attire vite l'attention. Simples mais sophistiquées, ses réalisations plaisent à une riche clientèle qui se presse, dès les années 1910, dans les boutiques parisiennes que possède notre créatrice de mode. Sa grande idée est de libérer la femme, en lui fabriquant notamment des habits moins étriqués. Toujours à l'avant garde, elle popularise la coupe de cheveux "à la garçonne" et lance des tendances intemporelles comme la marinière ou la célèbre petite robe noire en 1926. Elle est aussi la première couturière à proposer à la vente ses propres parfums. Le N°5 est aujourd'hui encore le symbole incontesté du chic à la française...

I know I'm slightly biased, but it irritates me when someone calls a well-loved doll from the 1800s "cursed."

"Oh no, it's chipped! It doesn't have any clothes! Its hair is all matted!"

Yes. Because a child played with it, and loved it, and dragged it along on all sorts of adventures 100+ years ago.

There's nothing cursed about being loved or aging.

Now, the Na'vi reborn dolls? Definitely, absolutely cursed.

I made a drawing for my DND character. The campaign is set in the 1920s and I wanted to use La Garçonne style.
