American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity

Happy Fourth of July RSPers. 

Perhaps it was the massive fashion magazine catch up sesh or influx of American-ness (fireworks, boating, chowing down on a feast of good 'ole home cooking, and spending time with great friends) but one topic kept coming up in conversation over the course of this Fourth of July weekend--the American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity exhibit.

Running through August 15th at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the American Woman exhibit is the Costume Institute's portrayal of the developing perceptions of the American woman from 1890 to 1940. Through dress, the Costume Institute breaks up the stages of the 1890s to 1940s American woman into six categories: 1) The Heiress, 2) The Gibson Girl, 3) The Bohemian, 4) The Suffragist, 5) The Patriot, and 6) The Flapper and the Screen Siren. 

After hearing such rave reviews about the exhibit, the RSP decided to dig deeper into the collection that it has yet to have the chance to check out in person. The end product? Our own tribute to these style revolutions in shaping the look of today's All American Woman.

Below, the RSP has selected a few works from the American Woman exhibit that tie into what Net-A-Porter deems are the classic pieces of today's American Woman's wardrobe. It is incredible how the lines and shapes from close to a hundred years ago are still ever present in the staples of the current American female's closet. Note: The Met's exhibit did not cover footwear, as such the RSP drew inspiration from Ginger Rogers and other Hollywood stars who shed the French footwear influence and gave the American High Heel an elegant, new look.

Enjoy.
