“But I am convinced that all these difficulties will someday be overcome, that a good spirit will emerge, and that women will stir themselves to reform their clothing in the artistic sense and will summon the courage to overthrow the rules of fashion. In no other area has uniformity deadened personality so much, and nowhere else does society exercise such a tyranny as in the realm of fashion” [1].
