If you want to talk women in suits, I mean really talk women in suits, you have to start with Marlene. There is no better starting point, and quite possibly no one better period, than Marlene Dietrich. Just her name evokes images of a perfectly tailored tuxedo. She rocked the gender fuck before rocking the gender fuck was common or even cool. But, wow, did she ever make it cool. Now that it’s also more common, we have Marlene to thank, too.
With Maurice Chevalier & Gary Cooper
With Joan Crawford
With Orson Welles
I believe, at the very least, a posthumous muffin basket is in order.
