Photo: Philippe Halsman/Magnum Photos Style Inspiration : Gloria Guinnes : la donna più elegante del mondo. Nasceva il 27 agosto Gloria Guinness, icona di stile mai dimenticata. Il buon gusto innato e la vita alquanto avventurosa ne fecero un mito che ancora oggi non smette di affascinare. Socialite, icona d’eleganza e contributing editor di Harper’s Bazaar dal 1963 al 1971, Gloria Rubio Alatorre nacque a Veracruz, Messico, il 27 agosto 1912. Un’aura di mistero avvolge molte fasi della sua vita: si dice che da giovanissima lavorò in un night club, prima di sposarsi, per ben quattro volte. La Guinness fu socialite, icona di stile ed editor di Harper’s Bazaar Gloria Guinness a Palm Beach, 1972 Gloria Guinness ritratta nella sua villa sulla spiaggia di Acapulco, Messico, febbraio 1975 Secondo Eleanor Lambert, Gloria Guinness era la donna più elegante al mondo Affascinanti i suoi matrimoni, rigorosamente blasonati: dal conte Franz-Egon von Fürstenberg-Herdringen nacque la figlia Dolores; successivamente convolò a nozze col principe Ahmed Abdel-Fettouh Fakhry e in quarte nozze con il capitano Thomas Loel Guinness, magnate dell’omonima birra ed appartenente ad una ricchissima famiglia di origine irlandese. Tra i suoi amanti vi furono l’ammiraglio David Beatty e il politico britannico Duff Cooper, che la descrisse come una donna dalla passionalità indomabile. Gloria Guinness apparve nella International Best Dressed List dal 1959 al 1963 Numerose le sue donazioni al Victoria & Albert Museum, che comprendono diversi abiti da sera: capi di Cristóbal Balenciaga, Jeanne Lafaurie, Marcelle Chaumont, Antonio del Castillo, Hubert de Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, André Courrèges, Christian Dior. Altri capi di Balenciaga ed Elsa Schiaparelli vennero invece donati al Costume Institute del Metropolitan Museum of Art di New York. Gloria Guinness ritratta con la figlia Dolores Brillante editor per Harper’s Bazaar, celebre è un suo aforisma apparso nel numero di luglio 1963 del celebre magazine, in cui afferma che “l’eleganza risiede nel cervello, nel corpo e nell’anima. Gesù Cristo è l’unico esempio che abbiamo di un uomo che le possedeva tutte e tre nello stesso tempo”. Gloria Guinness si spense nella sua casa in Svizzera nel 1980, all’età di 68 anni. Ma il suo stile rimarrà per sempre come un mirabile esempio di eleganza. La Guinness fotografata da Cecil Beaton per Harper’s Bazaar, 1966 Definita da Eleanor Lambert la donna più elegante al mondo, dal 1959 al 1963 Gloria Guinness fu presenza fissa nella International Best Dressed List, ideata dalla Lambert nel 1940. E dal 1964 conquistò il podio, superando, in fatto di stile, teste coronate e stelle del cinema. Predilesse abiti Balenciaga, Elsa Schiaparelli, Yves Saint Laurent, Hubert de Givenchy, Chanel, Christian Dior, Valentino Garavani, Antonio del Castillo, Halston e Roger Vivier per le scarpe. Fu tra le prime ad indossare i pantaloni capri proposti da Emilio Pucci e poi sdoganati da Jackie Kennedy.

Horst, John Rawlings, Toni Frissell, Henry Clarke e fu ritratta da artisti del calibro di René Bouché, Kenneth Paul Block e Alejo Vidal-Quadras. D-Art.it

A WWII Christmas: Food Rationing and Recipes in World War II {Part One}
Rosie the Riveter is a cultural icon of the United States, representing the American women who worked in factories and shipyards during World War II, many of whom produced munitions and war supplies.These women sometimes took entirely new jobs replacing the male workers who were in the military. Rosie the Riveter is commonly used as a symbol of feminism and women's economic power. Similar images of women war workers appeared in other countries such as Britain and Australia. Images of women workers were widespread in the media as government posters, and commercial advertising was heavily used by the government to encourage women to volunteer for wartime service in factories.
