action
A young man is totally fascinated by women in pants. This preference for the special trousers quickly develops into a fetish and leads to the fact that his bride, who has always dressed in skirts, becomes totally insecure. Because her future husband now prefers to look after women in pant suits.
And so, out of love for him and in fear of losing the man of her dreams, she begins to wear a culottes herself. Soon she begins to appreciate this item of clothing, especially since the groom now reads every wish in her eyes. With this form of unintentional emancipation, from then on, his eyes only stick to her wrapped legs and no longer wander to those of other women.

classification
Heidi Schlüpmann writes: “THE VICTORY OF THE HOSE SKIRT from 1911 also reveals a masochistic longing for the phallic mother - a counterpart to the experience of sadistic violence in male society. At the same time, a film like this reacts to the appearance of fashion in which the ›new woman‹ is reflected. "
