La cosa va de moda... El estilo PIN-UP!
Esta entrada va dedicada al
estilo de los años 40 y 50, a las antiguas glorias del cine como Marily Monroe,
Elisabeth Taylor o Katherine Hepburn y a las divas actuales Dita Von Teese,
Katy Perry e incluso Alaska. Todas ellas tienen en común el estilo pin-up.
Pero, ¿quiénes son las Pin-up
Girls? Significa Chicas de Calendario. Y no es para menos, este estilo hace a
la mujer mucho más sensual y atractiva potenciando los escotes, las cinturas de
avispa, los labios bien marcados con un color cereza y un pelo ondulado al más
puro estilo
'hollywoodiense'.
My post in english:
Dita Von Teese,
one of the most sexy women in the world and an erotic icon, was blonde when she
was young. That´s incredible! A different hair color transforms the same person
in two different ones. I could not say which of ``the two Ditas’’ I think is
more attractive, because she is one of the few famous women who fits so good blonde and dark hair. Marilyn Monroe
did the opposite as Dita did, she had a brunette hair but she preferred suffer
and enjoy being a boom blonde, with its consequences.
Von
Teese is a burlesque artist who left her ballet devotion and she started
working in a lingerie shop where she realized about her corses and retro
fashion passion. Since that moment, she has been improving her pin-up style,
sometimes a gothic one too. However, she is always a reference model to get her
style.
Recently,
she has created a luxury lingerie line, ‘Von Follies’, which will surely be successful and sexy. I´ve also read, in Glamour, about her shoes
passion and her interest in designing a
high heels collection, but she said that
she didn´t want to steal customers to Christian Louboutin: “I
design lingerie but I don´t design shoes because Christian Louboutin is my friend”.
Taking advantage of
her diva style, I´m going to talk about ‘pin-up girls’ throughout the history and
how they´ve become a copy style always present in the fashion world.
Red lipsticks, hair
weaves, sexy eyes, necklines and a wasp waist is everything you need to be one
of this kind of girls. This is closely related to 40s and 50s, the Grease film
and Pearl Harbor nurses. But the first
pin-up girl was an actress and writer called Colette in the end of XIX century.
You have to take into account that this
kind of personality is related to ‘cancan dance’ and it has added a sexy
innocence in just a gaze.
Greta Garbor in the 20s , Ingrid
Bergman and Katherine Hepburn in the 30s , when she played as Gilda,
Audrey Hepburn in the 40s , followed by the brown-haired boom women in
the 50s: Sophia Loren, Elisabeth Taylor and Sara Montiel, together
with the most desirable blond woman throughout time, Marilyn Monroe. The
next generation adds Brigitte Bardot, Jane Birkin, Madonna,
Amy Winehouse and, even more recently, Katy Perry and even Alaska.
All of them are sexy women that don´t need to show too much, just enough to be
irresistible. The attitude is what transforms you in a real pin-up girl,
neither lingerie nor make-up.
I love this style because it reminds
me one of my favorite films, Grease, and the rock&roll music as
Elvis Presley and the Basseballs, a new band very similar to the king of the
rock.
