Fashion

We were wondering what people wore during the World War 2 so we looked it up!

Women:
-Women were not allowed to wear defiant clothes or trousers.
-Scarfs (worn around the neck or head)
-Dresses with typical buttons.
-Strap shoes
-Gloves
-Umbrellas
-Their clothes were usually black or very dark
-Most women had the 'Veronica Lake hairstyle'

Men:
-Hats
-Suits consisted of a jacket and a pair of pants. The jackets were broad shouldered with wide lapels.
-Their clothes were usually black/very dark as well.
-They usually had a centre parting hairstyle.

Connection?


On a lot of gouaches you can see Charlotte & Daberlohn holding hands. This can be seen as very normal. A connection between two people. But I don't know if I would like to be connected to a man that also has a relationship with my stepmother. What do you think?

Thunder and lightning




“Thunder and lightning have always been best at purifying the world.”

What do you think of this expression? Is it right or is there something else that purifies the world? Which one of the two (Charlotte or Daberlohn) would said this expression?

Beginning and ending


















These two images are very much alike. The picture on the left is our decor from art scene and on the right the painting is one of charlotte. The story of Charlotte begins with two empty benches and ends with empty benches. And if they're on the bench, it isn't for a long time, just like their relationship, it doesn't last so long too.
