Not So Famous FIRST!
For Your Information the first women to wear trousers or pants as an article of feminine apparel was the famous French actress Sarah Bernhardt, Who was photographed at her paris studio in 1876 costumed in a jacketed trouser suit of extra ordinary modern time and appearance. (it should be noted that the “bloomer” introduced by the American feminist Amelia bloomer in 1848 were baggy pans worn beneath a short skirt, and not trousers in generally accepted sense.) But trouser for street wear would not be n vogue until the sensational appearance of the German actress and singer Marlene Dietrich in 1930 film morocco, though the lesbian coda intended by the movie’s iconoclastic director was totally lost on the housewives of American who emulated her.
In Addtion! Sarah Bernhardt (October 22, 1844 – March 26, 1923) was a French stage actress, and has been referred to as “the most famous actress in the history of the world”. Bernhardt made her fame on the stages of Europe in the 1870s, and was soon in demand in Europe and the Americas. She developed a reputation as a serious dramatic actress, earning the nickname “The Divine Sarah.”
WORD WATCH!
Pantalon: from Spanish pantaloon, which, in turn, derives ultimately from Pantalone, a stock character in Italian comedy who always wore a particular type of trousers with long, tight legs and sort of bloused effect around the hips!
