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

La Garçonne (1936)

[resplendentoutfit]

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 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...

SPFW N58 :: Sóbrio, mas nada óbvio para a À La Garçonne

Por Arlindo Grund e Lari Mariano Se combinar preto e branco te parece sóbrio demais, o desfile da À La Garçonne é um claro convite a repensar o conceito: o claro flerte com o street style reaparece e com muita modernidade. Conjuntos trazendo o xadrez, sobretudos mais abertos e com movimento, toques de uma alfaiataria que só precisa ser. Maxi bolsas e até paetês com brilho compuseram os olhares…

round 1

[reorientingtothexdaylight]

to know it was added in the script later means the film functions without and! it makes it a hundred times better! and they added it because they were "too chicken" to make the film where the guy has actually questionned his sexuality enough to be ok being with a guy

I'm only 3/4 of the way through it, but so far it's amazingly, wonderfully insane that Victor/Victoria has aged sooo beautifully as an lgbt+ movie? Like oh my godddd there are so many things that I'm losing my shit over here (contains spoilers !) :

Victoria coming out of Toddy's closet wearing that one guy's clothes and then clocking and kicking his ass

Them addressing certain straight men's fear and insecurity around being attracted to drag queens (and inadvertently, trans women)- and the insecurity in their masculinity/the need to prove that they're (straight/masculine/cis) men

Norma having it revealed to her that Victoria's a man and immediately jumping into saying "well, a woman can always tell- no matter hormone shots, etc. there's some things that can't be hidden" (she's literally flat out making shit up cuz that aint the case lmfaoo) I love how in the context of now this feels like they're actively dunking on transphobes

Toddy saying "You know, I think the right woman could reform you, too." right back at Norma when she says it to him

Toddy and Victoria's relationship <33

It's a low asf bar now but an insanely high bar for the time: no transphobic slurs or comments so far???!! Even media from the 2000s often fail this test

Victoria absolutely owning King Marchand every time he's homophobic or obvious about his fragile masculinity :)

Deliberate misgendering framed negatively in a context without trans people or transphobic implications... idk I just think it's neat

Being chill about cis drag lets fucking go

Textual proof that Julie Andrews is a gay icon and also SO fucking hot in drag

Gay man + straight woman friendship/solidarity in a way that isn't annoying or too stereotypical

The way that Victoria's relationship with both Toddy and King Marchand almost comes off as homoerotic cuz of the drag (wrote this before I got to the part where they were perceived as a gay couple lol)

Honestly you could give Victoria almost any gender/sexuality and this movie would still be a massive slay

"I don't care if you are a man" *kisses her* "I'm not a man" "I still don't care" *they kiss again*

Victoria clocking that one guy multiple times

People thinking King Marchand is gay ("so there was this polish fairy..." and "if a guy like you has the guts to admit he's gay... so can I")

"I said you can stop pretending" "I don't think I want to"

"You know a lot of guys, you'd be surprised [how many of them are gay]."

The convo about men and women not having any particular gendered way of acting, and some women having adams apples ILY <3

That asshole who's trying spy on Victoria getting his umbrella absolutely nuked by the lightning lmaoo
