Women Inspiring Women with Dresslily
Widespread celebrations of women as a gender began in New York City in February of 1909 and became the focal point for the women’s rights movement. Soviet Russia declared March 8 as the official women’s day in support of the newly found women’s suffrage in 1917. Fifty years later, the worldwide feminist movement adopted the idea in 1967.

Some people acknowledge this day in protest while others simply celebrate womanhood. (Source) Each year, the United Nations chooses a theme to coincide with…

The Fab 40’s Meet the Roaring 20’s
To honor the first month of the new decade, 2020, the Fab 40’s are drawing inspiration from last century’s Roaring 20’s. Women’s fashion in the 1920’s was characterized by the free spirited nature of a modernist era in the immediate wake of World War I which had just ended right before the new decade began. The post war world had been fundamentally and irreversibly effected on a societal and a cultural level, which dramatically impacted the entire fashion industry.
