Gibson girl
Gibson girl "woman considered stylish late 1890s and early 1900s," 1901, named for U.S. artist and illustrator Charles Dana Gibson (1867-1944), whose main model was his wife, Irene Langhorne. The Gibson cocktail (attested by 1914) is in some stories ascribed to him, but the origin of that term is unknown.
