THE POWER SUIT




A new player is now on fashion scene. The idea that fashion could empower women to accomplish more in all of their changing roles stretches back to the streamlined innovations of the 1920s, when women were liberated from their corsets! And it gained major ground during the women’s movement of the 1970s, when pants became the daily uniform of a generation of Charlie girls. But it undoubtedly reached its apogee in the 1980s, with the rise and eventual world domination of the power suit. This season apparently we gonna see the wide range of women suits from Victoria Beckham to Saint Lauren. There is a phrase in my mind that I never ever forget, ''First male-inspired couture inspired evening suit with pants for a women''. Vogue says it in 1966 after Yves Saint Lauren introduced 'le smoking'.. Now, have fun with this season's selected pieces by me. What if we live in a world that all male-inspired pieces exists that sexy on us? We all wish! Bon appétit.
