Beautiful bows for girls and big girls

A bow is such a detail that periodically comes into fashion, or rather, a bow never completely goes out of fashion, but in some periods it is more popular, and at other times it gives way to other decorative elements.

Let's see how the bow has done this over the past decades ...

In the fall-winter 2011-2012 season, one of the most important details is the bow. At the Dior show, a bow adorned shoes, and Karl Lagerfeld decided to add a bow to Chanel shirts.

And what did Dior himself write about bows? “This is the most obvious decoration of any dress: you can add it to the neckline of a dress, decorate a hat, or tie it at the waist. But I hasten to warn you: when it comes to bows, it is very important to be able to limit yourself. "

However, Dior himself did not always follow this rule. In that distant 1947, along with the skirts, which took 20 or more meters, huge bows flaunted on the chest. Bows made of organza or satin, silk or crepe de Chine - it was a wonderful "excess" that appeared, like a work of art, from the hands of a genius fashion designer. Dior said that he had "... most of the dresses come from love for a piece of cloth that lies on the table." Yes, Dior was very fond of beautiful fabrics.

In the 60s, the bows again "started talking" about themselves. Marc Bohan, who was for a time the designer instead of Yves Saint Laurent, who was sent to serve in the army, returned luxurious bows to silk blouses and dresses. Bows began to decorate and coats. And now they are everywhere, even on shoes ... No matter how they tell us that too many frills, gathers, folds and huge bows are an opportunity for individuals who are able to present all these "excesses" with all the elegance and grace, but we are all still in love with bows. When the Christian Dior boutique opened in New York in 1990, all black bustier dresses decorated with huge satin bows were sold on opening day, although everyone knows that simplicity is the key to elegance.

However, it is not at all necessary to repeat Dior in everything, it may be better to follow the example of elegant ladies such as Audrey Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and others, whose incredible chic and sophistication are visible to the naked eye. For example, Jacqueline has always loved to decorate herself with a bow. And once her appearance in France at the Elysee Palace looked so regal that the press awarded Jacqueline the title: "Her Majesty Elegance." From the jewelry on it one could see either a string of pearls and semi-long gloves, or a bow attached to a leather belt.
