Louise Brooks, was an American dancer, model, showgirl and silent film actress, famous for pioneering the bobbed haircut.
It’s no secret that I’m a craver for fashion exhibitions – and I’m distressed about missing out on the new exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
The exhibition American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity focuses on the archetypes of American style from the years 1890 to 1940, and feature fabulous style icons such as Louise Brooks, Anna May Wong and the Gibson girl phenomenon (a creation of American artist Charles Dana Gibson).
Curated by Andrew Bolton, the exhibition is laid out as a series of panoramas, each exploring how evolutions in women’s dress reflected revolutions in their social and economic status.
