Unusual Fashion Items: Answers

Marlene Dietrich in 1944, when she entertained American troops in the Second World War.

This quiz should tell you one thing: fashion is weird. Also, it's harder to be a trendsetter than it used to be. Shucks, Gog used to have 'em all green with envy, just by sporting that snakeskin headband around the cave. Now, you gotta have bling…

Could you match the famous individual to his/her most famous fashion item?

TrendsetterItem
  1. Marlene Dietrich.
  2. Charles 'Lucky' Lindbergh.
  3. Josephine Baker.
  4. Tim Curry.
  5. Fred Astaire.
  6. Edward VIII.
  7. Michael Jackson.
  8. Sally Rand.
  9. Kemal Ataturk.
  10. Jacqueline Kennedy.
  1. Gorilla costume. In Blonde Venus.
  2. Helmet and goggles. It got windy over the Atlantic.
  3. Bananas. Just bananas. (Quelle scandale!)
  4. Corset. (Oh, come on. Do the 'Time Warp'.)
  5. Top hat. Always.
  6. Necktie. Er, that's why it's called a 'Windsor knot'.
  7. A glove. Just one.
  8. A fan. Well, maybe two. But nothing else.
  9. Fez. National headgear of Turkey1.
  10. Pillbox hat. Every little girl wanted one.

Did you remember them all? If you did, you're a true fashion connoisseur. Perhaps you should branch out into accessory design.

See you at the runway show!

1Ataturk told his people, 'It's a hat. You wear it on your head. It's modern.' The fez has no brim, because brims interfere with praying. Fezzes are cool.
