Who was the first woman to make masculine clothes trendy for ladies?

I know liz Claibourne, Madonna, and afew others took the tuxedo, top hat , cigar and made pants something ladies could wear fashionably. They but a twist on gender and femininity. Short hairstlyes were cool, and casual could be sexy for some ppl. but who started most of this? And who are some there example of women doing this!? Thanks alot! =D oh thank you, thank u all!!! also, radcilff hall. she also dressed masculine. fyi

1. Katherine Hepburn
2. Woody Allen's movie, "Annie Hall"..Dianne Keaton dressed "frumpy" in men's clothing, and the fashion industry followed. Katherine Hepburn dressed in men's clothing in "African Queen", where she boats downriver with Humphrey Bogart.
3. Katharine Hepburn way back in the 30's and 40's.
4. I don't know who made the clothes but, I do know one of the first woman that started wearing them: Katherine Hepburn
5. Coco Chanel was one of the first designers to introduce stylish pants for women. Until then, women had just about only worn skirts or dresses.
6. The writer Georges Sand was a woman and commonly dressed as a man. She was Chopin's girlfriend. SO there's a pioneer for you.
7. I'm thinking Marlene Dietrich and Katharine Hepburn.
8. Definately Katherine Hepburn, Marlena Dietrich and Audrey Hepburn. They made the pant look elegant and stylish at the same time.
