Pretty&Nbsp; In&Nbsp; Peplum Waist Style

"Redundancy" is the essence of peplum. It hardly practices any function, purely decoration.

And what is so great about this surplus?

Unnecessary, so beautiful.

It is easy to agree that "too much is too bad". At the peak of the first trend of peplum, in the 40s and 50s of last century, surplus was good.

At least Paris's first generation fashion house model Janine Pons from 1948 to 1950 will agree with this.

Janine used to be the fashion model of Jacques Fath of Paris designer. She used to watch the big handwriting used for Fath material, such as the plucking of the straight skirt, the wavy edge of the dress skirt, the exaggerated waist of the peplum suit. The extra fabric was added to the dress designed by Fath, but the reality of Paris was that the material was in short supply.

Fabric has been rationed since 1941, and most of the leather was taken for military shoes during the German occupation.

The lack of materials has not improved for a while, and the simple post-war lifestyle is also reflected in people's clothing.

In 1946, Janine left Paris for the first time to work in the United States for Lancome. He could not even buy two pairs of stockings, and only one pair of shoes.

In such a case, it would be too extravagant to make a detailed extravagance for a garment that does not have practical functions.

However, the Parisians at that time seemed to be using this deliberately extravagant way to show their posture. The war could not defeat the pride of Paris, and the fashion houses were using fabrics to highlight this point.

Admittedly, the desalination curve, like men dressing, is a new trend of aesthetics in wartime.

Coco Chanel shut down the fashion salon on the Kang Peng street during World War II, so that the seamstress changed the army's sewing gloves.

Women no longer worry about dressing up beautifully. They are neutral. They must be determined to be like men from outside to inside.

And out of the family, do the operator, typist to supplement the family of women, but still has a dim expectation.

It was the beauty of peplum that lit up that barren time.

The surplus is abundant, and the excess fat accumulated in the right place is meant to be comfortable and healthy.

Women have curves. This aesthetic keynote has a long history.

Even in ancient Greece, the female citizens walking on the square began to wear peplum, just to cover up the less elegant combination of the upper and lower garments, while still giving full expression to the full curves.

The success of Jacques Fath is to cater for the psychological needs of women. His peplum suit highlights the changes in waist and hip curves. He especially likes colorful colors, which usually have irregular collar lines, and sing against the cold, real world.

Christian Dior strongly denied that her 1947 "corolla" series was influenced by Fath. However, Fath's irregular girdling, dress adornment and "corolla" series and "BarJacket" look so sharp.

At this point, peplum has almost become a feminine decoration of neutral suit, extending to the hem of the upper garment, distinguishing the women in the suit from the men.

However, its existence is not so simple.

Balenciaga made a tuxedo in 1959, adding peplum to a cocoon top coat, forming a double skirt with a pencil skirt, with a pair of Elbow Gloves and a great style.

Housewives' new clothes

Not only in Europe, peplum has received equal treatment in the United States, but the reasons are slightly different.

The advertisement poster of perfect housewife appeared in the magazine. The model dressed in style imitated the fashion of Christian Dior, and the peplum waist pendulum was slightly extended on the hip line.

With fresh fruit on the table and a Coca-Cola drink in hand, the picture was carefully set up to demonstrate a new feminine look.

After World War II, American women went back to the traditional family core, went back to the kitchen and living room, and continued to play the old role of women.

The most important mission of a woman is to take care of a house and look after a house. Becoming a housewife is a life goal.

Any anti feminist behavior, such as interest in politics or not to do women, is considered to be very unorthodox.

The fashion of 1950s is now regarded as one of the forces that push women back to the family. Unlike the box shaped contours of 1940s, the 1950s suit pursued the aesthetic standard of French fashion, emphasizing the fragile femininity, such as soft shoulder lines, stiletto shoes, long gloves and knee swinging skirts. Even those working women wear these characteristics.

Peplum is decorated outside the jacket, which adds charm to the pencil skirt. The small cap on the outdoors is decorated with veils and feathers, and the subtle sex appeal has a faint sense of decoration.

It is used to contrast the simple 1940s fashion style. Although Christian Dior continued its A and H profile after 1950s, the X hourglass contour is still classic, resulting in subsequent designers having to follow this trend.

"Between barren and abundant", pepl um rose in the era of two drastic changes.

This is similar to the popular background of Flapper Girl's Jazz dress.

In the 20s of the last century, jazz girls were drooping in their waistlines and loose in their skirts.

The man who plays the opposite is a man. Astronomer William Arnold Granger can't see a straight line like a little boy. He has a strange feeling about the slender waist that he holds. The extreme waist to hip ratio holds the beauty of the highest realm.

His wife, Ethel, was only 23 when he first met him. He was dressed straight and straight after the trend. He was brainwashed by Mr. Granger.

So she wore a waist around day and night until the waist was reduced to 23 inches, becoming the world's first waist in 1950s.

The "womanhood" of extreme femininity was copied on the cover of last year's 9 issue of the Italy edition "Vogue".

Model StellaTennant mimics the Ethel Granger of the year, and the face piercing and the bee waist look very painful.

Whether you look at this self destructive behavior or not, at least you have to admit that in the fashion world, the ideal female image has always been an artificial landscape.

Women are always curious about how to find the perfect self in the eyes of men.

Ethel Granger's extreme compliance has never been ignored. But by the end of the 1960s, women began to have such a mentality: men can go to the moon, how can women keep their mysterious charm? This kind of argument exists in the newspapers and periodicals of 1969, and the media is keen to drum up "feminine" women and even their corsets.

It has been given a pleasant and attractive name by advertisers: "romantic clothes", putting on it, highlighting their femininity and even becoming an idea revolution.

However, this ideal feminine image is not always natural. The beauty of the body is also a kind of feeling beauty. The interest in this beauty can not be superficial, and better improve its expression form, which is more lasting than simply binding or releasing the body of a woman.

Peplum rebirth

In 1987, there was such a dress in Givenchy dress: the whole body was covered with black two pieces of straight skirt, but the buttock was interspersed with a stripe of peplum.

Two kinds of dissonant style elements are linked together, and peplum is like improvisation of music.

If the past peplum played the role of a moderate reformist, it would make women no longer need to pay a painful price for the ideal shape.

Today, it becomes more of a form. The form itself is neutral. It can appear in the green suit waist pendulum worn by Princess Kate and visiting royal family recently, and can also be pformed into all kinds of refreshing designs on the model of T.

2012 in spring and summer, Vera Wang's peplum is a part of the sleeveless vest on the printed slit skirt. It has both a suit and a light and soft dress.

And Yves SaintLaurent will match it with trousers, the whole body will be well trained, while the middle part will be full of vigor.

How does Christian Dior trace back to her classic style? Straight dress is a bit plain, but it seems as if it is woven from a whole piece of fabric to peplum.

Celine's peplum does not follow the classic line. It cuts off geometric edges at the hem and even smells of "Deconstruction".

Wearing peplum dress seems to be the safest, because the hips don't look too big, but they still can protect the waist.

But if you really think so, you are wrong.

Nicole Kidman failed in the recent eighty-fourth Oscar ceremony.

Her white Dior dress has a helmet like outer dress adornment extending to the hem, too obscure and too stiff to be liked in that mainstream aesthetic hall.

Fortunately, however, she did not choose Cushnie et Ochs, a white dress with a spaceship on her waist. Such artificial landscapes are too far away from the general public's expectations of peplum.

Peplum should always be retro, soft and frail. Look at the appearance of the female stars on the red carpet wearing peplum - arms or single arm hips as if they were instantly attached to the poster girl in 1950s.

Before everything becomes dull and mediocre, focus on the evolution of the future.

On the T platform of the 2012 autumn and winter, peplum is hot again. I hope it will be different at that time.
