About this collection
The collection used 1940s and Occupation-era references with short skirts, heavy makeup and exaggerated styling. Its hostile contemporary reception and later influence are retained without turning the controversy into a separate era. The record preserves the collection’s line, season and authorship without turning its best-known looks into separate seasons.
