In the not too distant future a new interpretation of The Great Gatsby will grace our cinema screens, and with it will come a renewed interest in 1920s fashion. With the new film, TV series from the same era, and society's attempts to move away from the austerity of recent years, there could be something of the perfect storm. As such, Fashionising.com is looking at a revival of all things 1920s not just for the potential interpretation of the 'modern-flapper' but also for the potential for the influence of 1920s fashion to dominate part of 2012's fashion trends in the latter half of the year. But which elements will we be looking to in the coming seasons?
When you look back at the bygone decades, you either remember the political liberation, the historical restructure or the fashion. The way society's men and women dressed, the shoes they wore, the parties they attended and the wine they drank.
The 1920s brought with it a ring of independence, sexual emancipation and life. People realised they want to live life to the fullest. The decade is remembered, perhaps even romanticised, for being all about sex, alcohol and jazz. After the horror of the First World War, people intended to make up for all the time lost. This overwhelming desire to bounce back brought about transformations that awestruck the world. Architecture became more aerodynamic, modern technology took over households and the female wardrobe underwent a momentous alteration. Even though books may argue that 'youth culture' gained popularity in the 1960s, Hollywood movies and TV shows set in the 1920s seem to argue otherwise. People lived a fast paced lifestyle, secretly consumed excessive amount of alcohol and danced the night away to live jazz at the bar.
But the real excitement was the birth of a flapper girl. And we're now looking for her return.
