In the July 1, 1920 issue of #FrenchVogue, the second ever edition of the magazine, an article by Betty Thornly celebrates pioneering women pilots and, naturally, the clothing they wear. #PaulIribe created the charming illustrations that accompany the article. "Madame, the plane advances...with the same assurance that she drives a car the woman of today can fly the limousine of the latest fashion." Photographs feature top right pilot Mrs. Rudolph H. Kissel wearing #AbecrombieandFitch. Below her is Mrs. Chester Griswold. It is interesting to note, that no matter how keen Vogue is on celebrating these modern women, they are still identified by their husband's name and not their own.
