Unisex outfits
Are we on the edge of a revolution in dresses? None other but Léon Bakst, who has quite recently started working as a milliner, claims that we are indeed moving towards a mixture of the feminine and masculine in costumes. Can this be true? Possibly, Bakst will come up with some version of a unisex outfit that will meet the contemporary requirements of young men and women, who desire simplicity, comfort, and sportiness. Judaic women in Tunisia wear quite interesting outfits consisting of a very short thick skirt, roughly the length of a tunic with tight emerald-green ankle-length silk trousers that are worn under it. I know no other attire, in which to walk in streets without any uneasiness; possibly, the idea of such a costume is already ripening in the heads of those who decide what we will be wearing.
