Fashion is synonymous with change yet the iconic showgirl costume–feathers, sparkle and revealing clothes–has remained largely unchanged since the early 20th century.

A tall pretty girl with headdress, nude core with spangles, high heels and dramatic makeup became a Gallic symbol and later the trademark of Hollywood musicals.

More recently, cabaret styling has translated into today’s day, sport and evening clothes.
