Gloves golden age

Autumn / winter 2009 is totally fifties. Nicely tailored coats, pretty hats and of course wonderful gloves.

Dress gloves became popular in the sixteenth and seventeenth century, but they reached their summit in the fifties of the last century with icons like Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Rita Hayworth and Gina Lollobrigida. They conquered the world with their looks, of which gloves were a substantial part. This time is also known as 'the golden age of the gloves'.

Today the look is back and women can once again wear this elegant, sexy and terrificly refined fashion accessory with dignity. To inspire all of you we've picked out some nice pictures of the fifties great women from the silver screen. Here's the style of Bette Davis, Katherine Hepburn, Jackie O, etc. You know their names.
