The ‘Fin de siècle’ was recognized for industrialization and a feeling of modernization. Women desired more rights, mobility and started to adopt elements of male style.
Despite this, there was still a distinct separation between menswear and womenswear, reinforced by Victorian ideals. Also, etiquette was considered an indispensable part of dress and gentlemanly beliefs championed elegance as a philosophy for living.
This collection combines the codes and attributes of these English Ladies and Gentlemen, obsessively concerned with their changing place in society.
Rest of the portfolio ‘Absolutely Gentleman’ coming soon.
