Introduction

“Garçonne” derived from the French word for ‘boy’ but uses a feminine suffix. It means a girl who likes to dress like a boy or who looks a bit like a boy. In terms of styling, it refers to the boyish look tailor-made for women. The ‘gentlewoman’ of today has the same independent and creative spirit as the ones that came before.  This style endures, as many embrace the look without identifying with its origin.
