One of the great creators of the interwar years. She's a familiar name to fashion historians, but she deserves to be more widely remembered.
#OnThisDay, 31 Jan 2013, women in Paris are officially allowed to wear trousers again.
The 1799 law required women to ask police for permission to "dress as men", or risk being taken into custody.

In practice, the revolutionary era ban was ignored anyway.
An introduction repeat, now that I'm moving instances.
I'm a dress historian with an interest in all things #adornment and #MaterialCulture. I'm interested in the #HistoryOfDress, #HistoryOfTextiles, and the #EarlyModernAtlantic.
I have a book in copy edits with MQUP right now on the dress culture of early #Acadia, and a paper coming soon in Textile History on #weaving in Scottish Cape Breton. You'll hear a lot more about these as publication gets closer.
My current big project is on #spurs and #EarlyModern #masculinities, and I teach a four-course sequence on global #FashionHistory at Dalhousie University.
