New Look

In the 1950’s Dior created the “New Look”

for women to look more like women,

after they had to spend the war looking like men.

I hate that

But I also love it.

Skirts meant you couldn’t wear the pants, not in the 1950’s.

Women were relegated to the kitchen in the 1950’s.

They would cook dishes and look

out for their husband, for when they made it

home. And after they ate, the women

would wash dished while the men played that

game that was just for men.

I think understand why men

came home in the 1950’s

and allowed their wives to look like that.

They hadn’t seen the “Old Look,”

the way that the women

were able to do all of it

I don’t know if they missed it

after welcoming back the men

and going back to their duties as women.

Time went backwards in the 1950’s,

women got their new look.

But is that that?

I love that

New Look, I just adore it.

But only the look.

Created by men

In the 1950’s

For women

Can a woman look like a woman?

Could the men understand that?

Now, not in the 1950’s.

To be able to wear it

but act like a man.

That should be the New “New Look”.

For women to look like women without forgetting that it

doesn’t mean that we have to leaving wearing the pants to the men.

I want to go back to the 1950 but only for the look.
