World War I would soon write finis to the world of glitter and elegance.
Formality was loosening, the Gibson girl was the rage, and so was wearing
grotesque assemblages of dead birds affixed to hats. The first of the major
couture houses were established, and Japanese influence belatedly hit the
fashion world, combining the worst of East and West. From hobble skirts to
tailored suits, women responded to emancipation with raised hems and bobbed hair
and the occasional demonstration that an attractive woman looks good even in the
most hideous clothes.
