A few days ago, Linfengjun wrote an article about the fourth season of the British drama "The Crown", which was recently filmed, in which Elizabeth Debicki played the married Princess Diana, and the two were almost like gods.
At that time, when I saw Elizabeth wearing the famous "revenge little black dress" of the concubine, I had an idea in my heart, and I wanted to write about the clothes that deserved to be recorded in history.
Don't remember the story of "Revenge Little Black Dress"? Click here to review:
The secret of style is eternal, and she knows it better than we all
Like Princess Diana, clothes, sometimes, are meant to express attitudes.

Little black dress
Since the little black dress is mentioned, the black dress that Audrey Hepburn wore in "Breakfast at Tiffany" must have a name.
This little black dress is special not only because its elegance and good looks make Hepburn beautiful, but also because it bears witness to the firm friendship between Hepburn and designer Givenchy.
In fact, the little black dress we see on the big screen is not the original version designed by Vanschy at that time, but the film's costume designer Edith Head modified it on the version provided by Givenchy.
Nevertheless, Hepburn insisted that the designer's own originality must have a name, which made the little black dress an iconic work of Givenchy.
At an auction held by Christie's in 2006, an original Givenchy little black dress fetched a whopping half a million pounds, even though the dress didn't appear in the movie for a second.
The charm of the small black dress can be seen from this. Since then, it has been invincible on the stage of historical trends.
Spanning seasons and skin tones, it is a must-have classic in all women's wardrobes.

Smoking attire
Please don't be seduced by its name, the so-called smoking suit is actually a suit for girls.
In the 1930s, there was a German actress Marlene Dietrich who was famous, not only because of her beautiful acting skills, but more importantly, she was the first woman in Europe to wear pants in public.
After all, at that time, girls were not allowed to wear pants in public, and if they were not careful, they would be arrested and imprisoned for breaking the law.
The situation did not improve for a long time, until twenty or thirty years later, the genius designer Yves Saint Laurent came out.
He was the first designer to design suits and pants for women, and in order to encourage women to carry out the spirit of freedom and rebellion more thoroughly, he simply named the suit "Le Smoking".
Although there are many male designers in this world, there are very few like Saint Laurent who are full of respect and love for women from the bottom of their hearts.
This can be seen from his design, and different from the design style that emphasized female curves and sexiness at that time, his works emphasized the free and romantic and independent temperament of women.
As he once said, "If you can't find someone who loves you to offer a pair of arms to bend, you still have me." ”
Since then, suits that represent freedom and chic have never faded off the stage.

Small fragrant coat
The little perfume coat, the proper English name, is Tweed Jacket.
The so-called Tweed is actually a kind of fabric, which is what we know as coarse tweed. And this fabric, in turn, is borrowed by Ms. Chanel from her boyfriend's wardrobe.
Although Ms. Chanel devoted her life to the clothing business, there were actually fifteen years in between.
In 1954, at the age of 71, Chanel, who couldn't bear Dior's New Look, decided to return to the workforce.
The bee waist, breast enlargement, large skirt, the X-shaped line advocated by New Look is too similar to the pre-World War I clothing style she tried to overthrow.
Unfortunately, when she returned to 31 Rue Des Camponts to prepare for a big show, the Paris fashion scene had already changed. The series of works she launched when she first returned was not as popular as expected.
Bringing her back to the throne of the Queen of Fashion again was her reinvented Chanel suit. But this time, she chose to use tweed fabrics—when she fell in love with the Duke of Westminster, she often touched the rough and gentle material used in the Duke's winter coat.
Because of the combination of fashion sense and practicality, women who began to work outside the war fell madly in love with this suit.
This kind of love, as the small fragrant coat continues to innovate, not only has not decreased, but has become more and more intense.
Today, the meaning represented by a small fragrance coat has long been beyond the scope of fashion.
In contrast, it is more like a desire and pursuit of freedom and romance. Wearing it, it seems that you have the courage to live the life you want to live like a Parisian girl
