Fashion captures the zeitgeist – tapping into the existing cultural spirit or mood. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Gala understood fashion as a form of expression and self-discovery outside of conventions. Camouflage and transvestism, free of corsets (whether aesthetic or social). She was the femme dandy of avant-garde Paris. Her wild curiosity subverted trends in favour of an androgyny that, as proposed by Gabrielle Chanel, adopted certain masculine codes (and patterns) with which to define a new femininity.

And Gala reinvented herself every day, ready to take on as many roles as were needed: muse, performer, artist, agent… From sailor-style shirts to androgynous pieces, tailored suits, bold prints... Gala's iconic style continues to inspire today. Explore our exclusive selection of the Village's most coveted brands: a curated edit of must-have pieces inspired by the muse's personal fashion collection.
