Timeless history
Once Upon a time… the pink silk dresses have been a fashionable piece in any era, most notably starting in the 18th century to the Victorian era, through now. Audrey Hepburn, a classic Hollywood star from the 1950s, fashionably said “I believe in pink,” and some of her pink looks are the most iconic fashion looks in history (Katerina). Pink became popular during the time period of the 18th century court in France, notably a “Rococo” color of the period for “men and women alike” (Huskinson, T. ).
In 18th century France, “Pink was power. Its popularity spread from France – the era's global centre of fashion – across western Europe by wealthy men and women, who favoured the colour for their gowns and embroidered silk coats. Pink spread, to all rich enough to not be left out of the trend, into rooms and onto clothes” (Huskinson, T. ).
Another timeless insight is that both Marilyn Monroe & Madonna wore a hot pink silk dress at pivotal moments in their careers. The fashion icon Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe wore a pink silk dress in the 1953 Hollywood film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and this, “iconic pink silk dress was worn at a key point in Monroe’s career” (Turner, C). Madonna wore a floor-length hot pink silk dress that was inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s in her music video for her 1985 hit “Material Girl.”
