History of a pencil skirt
Many fashionistas never thought about where the idea came from to create a universal piece of clothing. But the history of the pencil skirt is interesting, fascinating and incredible.
The analogue of the model was Ms. Berg's dress from France. In the distant 1908, she was invited to become the first woman in the world to be a passenger on an airplane. The flight had to become historical. When the screws of the plane earned, a problem arose - Ms. Berg's skirt began to expose her legs - which would be a scandal. But she was not at a loss - she tied a lavish skirt around the ankles with a rope. As a result, the flight was completed, and a photograph depicting Mrs. Berg in this form flew around the world.

This is the story of the creation of a pencil skirt did not end. I noticed a photo with Berg designer Paul Poiret. It was he who sewed the first model of the skirt. The product was so narrow that the girls developed a special gait, which became an analogue of the model.
With the onset of world wars, there was a shortage of tissues, so it was decided to shorten the product to the knee. And then the story of the modern skirt-pencil begins. In 1940, it was presented in a form that is still popular. And the designer was Christian Dior himself.
His version of the skirt became a classic, fell in love with all the stars of the cinema. Wear such items as Ave Gardner, Betty Page, Grace Kelly, sex symbol Marilyn Monroe and inimitable Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren and others. Times went, but interest did not disappear. Among the famous people of modern times, most often in such clothes you can see Angelina Jolie, Karin Roitfeld, Eva Longoria, Kim Kardashian and Michelle Obama.
