Influencers are in abundance today, but an exhibition examines how three helped to liberate women in the 1920s.
In an age when the number of influencers seems immeasurable, the idea that there once was a period of time that a select number of people lived up to that title might sound like a reach.
But the exhibition “Influencers: 1920s Fashion and the New Woman” at Lyndhurst Mansion in Tarrytown, N.Y.,, Irene Castle and Edna St. Vincent Millay — who helped liberate women’s fashion and lifestyle.
On view through Sept. 23, the show examines how women gained certain freedoms in the way that they dressed and lived after the Great War. That turning point gave way not just to cultural shifts in fashion and social behavior. In that decade, American women earned the right to vote, became more involved in the workforce and attained greater independence.; Castle , and the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and Jazz Age bohemian St. Vincent Millay.
As known as Castle was for such roles as “Patria,” she also was a pioneering entrepreneur who designed many of her costumes and used her image to become a household name. In 1917, Castle teamed with Corticelli Silk Mills to develop “Patria”-inspired fabrics, and she later launched a signature label, called Irene Castle Corticelli Fashions. Castle also played a part in sparking a seismic hairstyle trend that prompted many women to cut off their long tresses.
A daytime ensemble that Castle had developed with the Corticelli Silk company is on view. Notably, the jacket’s lining is the same fabric as the dress, which was the type of detail that would have been used at that time by French couturiers. While such celebrity fashion licensing deals are in abundance today, they were started years ago by Castle, who is said to be credited as the first celebrity to have an eponymous fashion line.
