More about the book
The evolution of the showgirl costume, characterized by feathers, sparkle, and revealing attire, reflects a rich history rooted in the 1800s. Originating from Paris nightclubs, this iconic fashion has remained largely unchanged, influencing glamour and aesthetics in Hollywood musicals. The tall, glamorous figure adorned with dramatic makeup became a symbol of allure, while France's export of elaborate costumes and productions shaped global entertainment. Today, elements of cabaret styling continue to inspire contemporary fashion across various contexts.
