WOMEN’S SHIRTS
Shirts for women are one of the clothing items with the longest history. Women’s shirts first showed up as shirt dresses to be worn as undergarments during the Roman Empire. Back then, they were pieces to wear under other forms of clothing. With time, patterns shortened and got closer to what we know today as a classic shirt.
Currently, women’s designer shirts are a symbol of elegance and sophistication; a piece all the biggest fashion labels have explored with different meanings. Prada, for example, opened the path to the exploration of symbology of the shirt as uniform. The great Italian powerhouse has found a way to reconvert a classic staple into something cool with an air of intellectualism.
Labels like Valentino or Victoria Beckham explore a side of the women’s shirt as a romantic symbol. Their delicate, elegant designs explore the utmost expression of modern femininity. The different bows and lapels further reinforce their poetic notions of the shirt.
For Jil Sander and Etro, women’s shirts are a key piece of their collections. Each following their own brand ethos, they both achieve a decontextualization of the shirt as almost an art piece. For Saint Laurent, shirts have this androgynous function so sought after in their collections.
