Summary: This article talked about how we are living in the time period of Marie Antoinette, the fashion queen. She set trends like the "pouf" and set the trend of wearing pants for women. Marie rode her horses astride instead of sidesaddle. This was a big deal because women wore dresses and not pants. She also was the first to sport short hemlines and was also the first to show her ANKLES!! Marie didn't always wear the amazing detailed clothing she also wore plain dresses which was sort of like calling it a knock-off. She was desperately in love with what was new, without any regard for its implications. This article also said that now there are 2 perfumes that Marie might have used and they are now selling them.
