In later years of the 16th and17th centuries, it had already become a gender-neutral hair accessory more commonly worn as a love lock.\u00a0 A lock of hair longer than the rest of the head was braided using a bow. The lovelock was then laid on the chest reflecting romantic emotions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 18th century, the bow was a popular accessory among the affluent French. A mistress of Louis XIV, Marquise de Fontange lost her hat during riding and to save herself from the embarrassment of loose hair, she took a ribbon from her dress to tie her hair instantly giving rise to a fashion trend. Rumour also has it that Marie Antoinette\u2019s hairdresser spent 20,000 francs on her hair ribbons.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gender-neutral stance of the bow still holds true. Pierre Lorillard designed the tuxedo and black bow tie in 1886 which was in vogue for decades. For a short moment in time, the bow tie also made a leap toward womenswear in the 1920s and 1930s. Katharine Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich made headlines by wearing pantsuits and ties.\u00a0 In 1927, Elsa Schiaparelli, the Italian surrealist designer celebrated the bow by knitting it into the neckline of the sweater in her newly launched collection.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet there was running simultaneously the wearing of bow ties as a political and social commentary for example Black <\/em>bows were donned by women during the American Civil war to make a political point. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bows took on flirtatious connotations, as evidenced by a 1944 spread from\u00a0LIFE\u00a0<\/em>magazine that assigns various romantic meanings to the placement of a young lady\u2019s hair bow, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the 60s and 70s, the trend of pussy bow blouses emerged which came to symbolize women’s empowerment in workplaces. Many advocacy groups have adopted ribbons as symbols of support or awareness with a single colour, referring to more than one cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0red ribbon, as an awareness ribbon, is used as a symbol of the solidarity of people living with HIV\/AIDS, and for the awareness. whilst the\u00a0white ribbon was the badge of the\u00a0Woman’s Christian Temperance Union and in recent times is the symbol of anti-violence against women, safe\u00a0motherhood, and other related causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Yellow Ribbon Campaign of Myanmar\u00a0is a movement of lawyers against the appointment of retired military officers to positions in Judiciary Practice in Myanmar (Burma) in September 2015. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also know that bows are commonplace in characters from books and movies. Here used in more saccharine ways, think Minnie Mouse, Daisy, Little Mermaid, and Belle from Beauty and the Beast all are characters with bows adorned in their hair. Male characters like Donald Duck also wore coloured bow ties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
