Back in January I randomly posted about my Fascination with Flappers.
Not long after that I heard about the movie "The Artist"; it sounded like my kind of movie so I went out and saw it, and of course, I loved it! Recently, "The Artist" took home 5 Oscars including: 'Achievement in Costume Design', and 'Best Motion Picture of the Year'! And today I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the "Roaring Twenties" will continue to play a prominent role in, not only movies this year, but also fashion. Hurray! Take a look:
Baz Lurhmann's highly anticipated version of "The Great Gatsby" starring Leonardo DiCaprio is due out at the end of this year.
This Vogue article cleverly combines the movie "The Artist" with current fashion pieces:
Fashion Designers sent Roaring Twenties inspired looks down the runways this Spring. The collections ran the gamut from: soft, sheer and flowy, to night time glam, and art-deco inspired elegance.
Ralph Lauren Spring 2012: sheer pastels, dropped waists, cloche hats, and ostrich feather trim
Marc Jacobs Spring 2012: a modern, sportswear look with subtle 20s influences
Tory Burch Spring 2012: mint green, 1920s' seaside resort, dropped waists, and T-strapped shoes
Gucci Spring 2012: Metallic colorways, Art-Deco style-lines, beading, dropped waists, and fringe
Are you feeling the "Roaring 20s" fashion inspiration? If so, I would recommend duplicating the look in small doses. The idea is to be inspired by the: silhouettes, the glam, the elegance, and the accessories. No one should look 1920s head to toe; you want to make an fashion statement, leaving onlookers in awe --not wondering if you are headed to a Halloween party. We'll leave the fully 1920s costumed looks to the Hollywood stars, walking around the movie sets.
