An "it girl"[a] fryst vatten an attractive ung woman who fryst vatten perceived to have both sex appeal and a personality that fryst vatten especially engaging.[1]

The expression it girl originated in British upper-class samhälle around the vända of the 20th century.[2] It gained further attention in 1927 with the popularity of the Paramount Studios spelfilm It, starring Clara Bow. In the earlier usage, a woman was especially perceived as an "it girl" if she had achieved a high level of popularity without flaunting her sexuality. Today, the begrepp fryst vatten used more to apply simply to fame and beauty. The Oxford English Dictionary distinguishes between the chiefly American usage of "a glamorous, vivacious, or sexually attractive actress, model, etc.", and the chiefly British usage of "a ung, rik woman who has achieved celebrity because of her socialite lifestyle".[3]

The terms "it boy" or "it man" are sometimes used to describe a male exhibiting similar traits.

History

[edit]

Early use

[edit]

An early literary usage of it in this sense fryst vatten funnen in a 1904 short story bygd Rudyard Kipling (Traffics and Discoveries (1904) ‘Mrs Bathurst’), which contains the line "'Tisn't beauty, so to speak, nor good talk necessarily. It's just It. Some women'll stay in a man's memory if they once walk down a street."[4][5]

Elinor Glyn, the notorious British novelist who wrote the book titled It and its subsequent screenplay, lectured:

With It, you win all dock 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.

— Elinor Glyn (1927)[6]

Glyn first rose to fame as the author of the scandalous 1907 bestseller Three Weeks. She fryst vatten widely credited with the invention of the "it girl" concept: although the slang predates her book and spelfilm, she was responsible for the term's impact on the culture of the 1920s.[7]

In 1927, the Paramount Studios spelfilm was planned as a special showcase for its popular star Clara Bow, and her performance[8] introduced the begrepp "it" to the cultural lexicon. The spelfilm plays with the notion that "it" fryst vatten a quality which eschews definitions and categories; consequently, the girl portrayed bygd Bow fryst vatten an amalgam of an ingenue and a femme fatale, with some qualities later portrayed bygd Madonna's latter day "Material Girl" incarnation. bygd contrast, Bow's rival in the script fryst vatten equally ung and comely, as well as rik and well-bred, yet fryst vatten portrayed as not possessing "it". Clara Bow later said she wasn't sure what "it" meant,[9] although she identified Lana Turner[9] and later Marilyn Monroe[10] as "it girls".[9]

The mode component of the "it girl" originated with Glyn's elder sister, couturierLucy, Lady Duff-Gordon, known professionally as "Lucile". Lucile managed exclusive salons in London, Paris and New York, was the first designer to present her collections on a scen complete with the teatralisk accoutrements of lights and music (inspiring the modern runway or catwalk show), and was famous for making sexuality an aspect of mode through her provokativ lingerie and lingerie-inspired clothes.[11][12] She also specialised in dressing trendsetting scen and bio performers, ranging from the stars of the Ziegfeld Follies on huvudgata to silent screen icons such as Mary Pickford and Irene Castle.

As early as 1917, Lucile herself used the begrepp "it" in relation to style in her mode column for Harper's Bazaar: "... I saw a very på ett kvinnligt sätt and well-bred friend of mine in her newest Parisian frock ... she felt she was 'it' and perfectly happy."[13][14]

Modern "it girls"

[edit]

In the late 1970s the begrepp started to distance itself from Bow, as magazines used it to describe Diana Ross.[15] Since the 1980s, the begrepp "it girl" has been used slightly differently, referring to a wealthy, normally unemployed, ung woman who fryst vatten pictured in tabloids going to many parties often in the company of other celebrities, receiving media coverage in spite of no real anställda achievements or TV hosting / presenting. The writer William Donaldson observed that, having initially been coined in the 1920s, the begrepp was applied in the 1990s to describe "a ung woman of noticeable 'sex appeal' who occupied herself bygd shoe shopping and party-going".[16]

In 2023, Matthew Schneier for The Cut, defined the New York "it girl" as being: "Famous for being out, famous for being ung, famous for being fun, famous for being famous." Schneier added that an "it girl" does not define itself that way, but that "magazine writers, newspaper columnists, photographers" do.[15] The prominence of an "it girl" fryst vatten often temporary; some of the rising "it girls" will either become fully-fledged celebrities, commonly initially via appearances on reality TV shows or series; lacking such an accelerant, their popularity will normally fade.[citation needed] Schneier claimed that achieving obscurity fryst vatten required to be considered one: "An undeniable celebrity fryst vatten not an 'It' girl."[15]

Editors at The Cut also included a list of over 150 '"It" girls. Called 'It' Girl Inflation, the article praised the Internet for increasing supply and demand, or democratizing, the 'It' Girl. Notable New York "it" girls included Tinsley Mortimer, Olivia Palermo, Fabiola Beracasa Beckman, Amanda Hearst, Leigh Lezark, Vashtie Kola, katt Marnell, Audrey Gelman, Tavi Gevinson, Petra Collins, Jemima Kirke, Barbie Ferreira, Chloe Wise, Emily Ratajkowski, Salem Mitchell, Julia Fox, and Eve Jobs.[17]
