POWER TO THE PIN

de krijtstreep verbindt trend & traditie

Old news: bij PLEIN PUBLIQUE zijn we stapelgek op strepen. Breaking news: onze geliefde Bretonse streep krijgt serieuze concurrentie. Serieus met een knipoog, dat dan weer wel, je kent ons. Lang verhaal kort: TADAAA! Maak kennis met onze nieuwe liefde: de krijtstreep. Wat hoor ik je denken, te mannelijk? Me hoela Mais non! Ontworpen in een elegante belijning en gemaakt van soepele stoffen blijkt de iconische bossy business classic verrassend vrouwelijk – en met de juiste styling nog f***ng sexy ook. On your pins – oftewel: in de beentjes - we nemen je mee op een sightseeing tour door de modegeschiedenis.

TAKE IT TO THE BANK

Grofweg eind 1800, begin 1900 gold het krijtstreepkostuum als het officieuze ‘uniform’ voor bankiers. De lijndikte en onderlinge afstand van de pinstripes dienden als een soort van code waardoor werknemers van de verschillende banken elkaar konden identificeren. En dat terwijl het bankwezen ‘pinnen’ nog niet eens had uitgevonden :) Krijtstrepen werden een symbool van macht: in oude maffiafilms draagt de gentleman-boef ook vaak een krijtstreeppak.

Jean Paul Belmondo & Alain Delon – ‘Borsalino’, 1970

EARN YOUR STRIPES

Raar maar waar: ook in de sportwereld is de krijtstreep geen onbekende speler. We zien krijtstrepen vooral op de tenues van American baseball (niet te verwarren met basketbal) – waarbij de Chicago Cubs in 1907 de krijtstreep als eersten claimden. Uiteindelijk hebben de Yankees de krijtstreep dermate agressief ingelijfd dat ‘wearing pinstripes’ in de USA betekent dat je bij de Yankees speelt.

CORPCORE

Klaar nu met die kerels: how can I make this about me? Nou, door je te laten inspireren door de vele roemruchte dames die ons voorgingen en de krijtstreep female business maakten – de voorlopers van de huidige corpcore trend. Wie oh wie was er als aller-aller-aller eerste bij? Marlene Dietrich, zo ongeveer rond 1930. Als ambassadeur van het ‘mannenpak voor vrouwen ’rockte ze de krijtstreep niet alleen met verve maar ook met corsages, hoeden, juwelen en bont. Op en top female empowerment, wat een vrouw… Decennia later neemt niemand anders dan power woman Madonna neemt het stokje dankbaar over.

Nog zo’n voorvechter van het ‘mannenpak voor vrouwen’, zeker niet de minste en zelf óók groot fan: Yves Saint Laurent. Zijn eerste wapenfeit op dit gebied is de smoking voor vrouwen, gelanceerd in 1966.

Yves St. Laurent

In 1976 wijdde Yves zelfs een complete collectie aan de krijtstreep, stijlvol gepresenteerd door muses Danielle Luquet St. Germain en Vibeke Bergeron.

Fast forward naar nu: de huidige stijliconen lusten er ook wel pap van. Op de rode loper, gesnapt door paparazzi op de stoep van een hotel, aan tafel bij talkshows of tijdens een rondje shoppen: in de krijtstreep willen deze showpony’s maar wat graag gezien worden.

Pantalon LE MALO, gilet LE DAXY en minirok LA BLAISE zijn gemaakt van een prachtige soepele bi-stretch kwaliteit: rekt zowel in de breedte als in de lengte, zit heerlijk comfortabel en valt echt heel mooi. Tip: voor een veelzijdige co-ord set schaf je ze alle drie aan. Het is even een investering, maar geloof ons: je hebt er jarenlang plezier van. Nog een tip: met de juiste accessoires – denk parels, zilver/goud en glitter(-ballerina’s) – transformeer je je outfit in een handomdraai van office proof naar party proof.
