EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the elegant and defiant style of a 1930s trouser suit designed by Madeleine de Rauch. The suit, with its masculine cut and bold striped linen fabric, challenges gender norms of the time. The broad padded shoulders, deep revers (lapels), and wide-leg trousers with turn-ups (cuffs) and loafer shoes exude a confident and manly air. The model, dressed in this suit, wears a cravat, further emphasizing the androgynous nature of the outfit. The year is 1939, a time when women's fashion was heavily influenced by the glamour of Hollywood and the elegance of European design. However, this trouser suit, with its butch and smoking-jacket-inspired elements, represents a different kind of femininity - one that was bold, independent, and unafraid to break the rules. The history of this suit is as intriguing as its design. Madeleine de Rauch, a French designer known for her innovative and unconventional creations, designed this suit with the intention of giving women a more masculine and powerful look. The deep revers and wide-leg trousers were meant to mimic the cut of a man's suit, while the loafer shoes added a touch of casual sophistication. This photograph is a testament to the power of fashion to challenge societal norms and express individuality. The trouser suit, once considered a symbol of butch or lesbian identity, has since become a staple in women's wardrobes around the world. This image, captured in 1939, is a reminder of the courage and vision of designers like Madeleine de Rauch, who dared to redefine what it means to be a woman.
