| Betty Karrenbauer |
The
flappers were young women in the 1920s, who showed disdain for dress
and conventional behavior. The flappers were known mainly for their
free manners (strong alcohol, cigarettes, sex, among others
...).
The flapper style, originated in the United States, was successfully imported to Germany, especially to Berlin.
One can recognize a flapper for her short skirt and her hair rather short or bobbed, pale makeup and small red mouth; dark-eyed redheads with beauty spots. With an art deco-style figure, she did not wear a corset, thus contravening the social norm of previous years.
Actress Louise Brooks was the archetype, but Fräulein Betty Karrenbauer seems to have been a hard-line flapper too. I doubt however that Lilian Harvey, “the blonde dream”, could be considered a flapper.
