Let’s peruse the styles of the early 1910s.

Any fashionista can tell you, style can be a risk. And from the look of it, the fashions of 1910 indicate it was a very risky year!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder of course but in my opinion, fashion seemed dramatically improved by the onset of the Great War in 1914.

Gaby Deslys, the French singer and actress. Listen to her sing and read about her love affair with the King of Portugal here. 

 

The wife of designer Paul Poiret modeled many of his gowns, including his automobile attire. I love the French people and they know their fashion so I won’t question them on the need for automobile attire.

 

 

The fashions took a marked turn in 1914.
