The Pink Bow





This design is a representation of the history and progression of bows. The beginning ten bows symbolize who originally designed bows, being men. The next ten bows portray the Victorian Era, where woman began to where extravagant head pieces and transformed the male bow from use to a sense of style. 

The third set of ten captures the Hippie Era where green and floral bows were worn to express the freedom and natural sense of life that woman were experiencing. The last 20 bows covey the complete transformation of bows from worn by males to now young girls. 

The bow in the middle symbolizes the iconic "pink boy,” being the defining feature of young girls. A small infant will wear a pink boy around her head to define that she is a baby girl. In child cartoons the girl character will usually wear a bow and it is normally illustrated in the color pink.
