Women fashion revolution in the early nineties was implemented by sport, espcially by tennis. British Vogue says, in 1926, that sport gave the biggest contibution to fashion evolution. After the "Dress up for the game" title, unpredictable things happened: the lengths of the edges are shortened and finally clothes become beautiful, sleveless.
For the first time there is a strong influence of the male silhouette on the women sportswear. It starts to be a kind of fashion that make women feel free.

Leading the design field of that time was Jean Patou, who accustomed the fashionable world to the idea of appearing "undressed" in publi during the day.
The prêt-à-porter embryo is borned in this moment and it has its icon, and her name is Suzanne Lenglen.
Suzanne Rachel Flore Lenglen (24 May 1899, Compiègne, Oise – 4 July 1938) was a French tennis player who won 31 Championship titles between 1914 and 1926.
A flamboyant, trendsetting athlete, she was the first female tennis celebrity and one of the first international female sport stars, named La Divine (the divine one) by the French press.
She garnered much attention in the media when she appeared at Wimbledon with her dress revealing bare forearms and cut just above the calf, while all other players competed in outfits covering nearly all of the body.
Staid Brits also were in shock at the boldness of the French woman who also casually sipped brandy between sets.
She has been the first to use to wear a bandeau in different colours always matching the beautiful cachemire capes over crepe de chine U-backed dresses anticipating the Vogue for backless dresses in the thirties.
