Bemerkung:

Six designs for Ladies evening dresses. One plate signed Boris. While men's style changed little, women's looks changed significantly over the course of the 1930s. The previous "Roaring Twenties? were still characterized by a new, very androgynous image of women and the so-called "Flapper Girl? was a symbol of the independent, modern woman. But in the 30s this trend changed to the complete opposite: the elegant lady was popular again. This was reflected above all in the rediscovery of the female figure. Reason for this: The woman as a caring mother and housewife was THE ideal of the time. This conservative image was also accompanied by a hyperfeminization of women. This value attitude was particularly evident in the emphasis on the high waist.
