Military



My Current theme is military. Im particularly influenced by Christian Dior's Pre-Fall 2010 collection as it reflects the 1940s WWII era. These sexy sihouettes and long stockings give an empowering appearance for women which reflects their role of the time; replacing typically male orientated job roles in factories whilst men were at war.
 

I've always loved this American WWII propoganda poster of the fictional icon 'Rosie the Riveter' which represeneted women who worked in the factories during the war, often making war supplies and ammunition. Its is now seen as a symbol of feminism.
