I was on my stumbleupon.com account going through fashion websites as always and 'stumbed upon' a great blog about this dancer from the last 1800's to early 1900's. Ruth St. Denis was a famous dancer and dance teacher known for her over the top costumes.
In this particular costume she was playing a peacock type character, but I still found it interesting that the peacock feather was used as a design over 100 years ago.
Timeless fashion simply amazes me.
