THE GIBSON GIRL was an idealized image of the modern American woman from the late 1890s through the 1910s, created by illustrator Charles Dana Gibson. She was portrayed as elegant, confident, well-educated, and athletic, with a signature upswept hairstyle and fashionable high-collared clothing that came to define the era’s beauty standard. The Gibson Girl became one of America’s first mass-media style icons before giving way to the very different flapper image of the 1920s.

Like the Gibson Girl herself, this Abracadabra purple and Colada warm white striped dupioni silk projects elegance and a sense of refinement, balancing bold color with classic simplicity. The luminous warm white and vibrant violet stripes recall a polished sophistication and unmistakable presence that made the Gibson Girl an enduring symbol of classic American style.

Gibson was designed by and made just for us, so you cannot find it anywhere else!

Each stripe measures 1cm wide. Please note that the stripes run selvedge to selvedge, not the length of the fabric.
