Camille Clifford Was A Gibson Girl In The Flesh
When it comes to the Gibson Girl topic, the real-life version was considered by Camille Clifford. She took part in a contest aimed at finding someone who looked like a painting of Charles Gibson. She won in the end! It did look very much like her than any of the candidates in the illustrations, the judges thought.

The Flapper Of The Roaring ‘20s
There is nothing with the It-girl of the ’20s that the Gibson Girl has in common. The flapper had short hair and therefore wasn’t corset-wearing. An hourglass figure or a dramatic updo was no longer something hip. Women have finally had the right to vote since the passage of the 19th Amendment. This happened to come after battling and advocating for this right for nearly 100 years! After this political turmoil, fashion started to change.
