Independence Day: Stars, Stripes, and Style Abroad

By Kelley Hoffman

With the Fourth of July around the corner, it's no surprise to see plenty of Americana in the air. But who would of thought it'd be making such a splash overseas? While each of these photos follow the stars and/or stripes motif, there seems to be an additional United States historical or cultural reference within each look. A flag-printed handkerchief is worn around the neck like a wild west cowboy. A woman in a striped dress wears her hair in a poof reminiscent of the turn of the twentieth century ideal, the Gibson Girl. A popping Bernhard Wilhelm dress complete with Clark Kent glasses is Superheroes-exhibit worthy. And a woman in a sparkly cap and star-printed romper looks ready to tap dance into some prohibition-era speakeasy. They may not have the holiday, but they've certainly got their share of firecrackers in street fashion.
