It. Feminine. The ultimate “It Girl”: Clara Bow via theflapperfactor
The early usage of the concept “it” in this meaning may be seen in a story by Rudyard Kipling: “It isn’t beauty, so to speak, nor good talk necessarily. It’s just ‘It’.”[1]Elinor Glyn lectured: “With ‘It’ you win all men if you are a woman and all women if you are a man. ‘It’ can be a quality of the mind as well as a physical attraction.”[2] The expression reached global attention in 1927, with the film It, starring Clara Bow.
love clara!!!
