Petticoat Dress by Francisco Javier Gosé, 1912

Step aside, modern influencers—Francisco Javier Gosé was capturing the ultimate street style back in 1912 with this chic fashion plate. The elongated, elegant woman struts in a sweeping brown 'Robe à Panier,' balancing a massive green feather on her hat while casually strolling a tiny, scruffy black dog. Gosé, a master of Spanish illustration, perfectly captured the Art Nouveau flair of the era, turning everyday walks into high-fashion runway moments. His signature style often featured these impossibly tall, sophisticated women who looked like they were floating just above the ground, setting the standard for early 20th-century elegance.
