Contemporary Fashion falls the trend of 20's

According to my research about contemporary fashion, which is being inspired of 20's, I thought that Daisy, in our decade would have probably the same styling as the women that you can see in the pictures underneath.

Flapper girls

In this collection Allpberta Ferreti preferred to design dresses like flapper girls as we can see.

In 2011 Revival vintage Wedding Dress collection, the dresses, the hats, the make-up and accessories are giving us the idea to think that the designer YolanCris wanted to take us back to 20's.

1920's Fashion Mood Board

I created this mood board, because I wanted to present the fashion in period of 20’s with some pictures. When I was reading the book of Great Gatsby I had those pictures in my mind and I was thinking of how Daisy would look like. In this mood board you can see the hairstyling of women (finger waves, messy hair), the style of flapper girls, the dresses the make-up and the hats. I put, also, the picture with the car in the middle cause I wanted to present that the fashion in 20’s wasn’t only the styling of the people but also the cars they had and I was thinking that Daisy would have probably driven a car like this when she killed Myrtle in the Great Gatsby.

1920's Fashion

After the First World War, the Great War as they were called it, not knowing the future, social and economic developments completely changed the role of women and have appeared revolutionary innovations in women’s clothing art in general and aesthetics.

Movements such as Bauhaus and Constructivism acted as a catalyst in the development of contemporary art in all areas.

In 20’s women are becoming independent. It is the period of so-called flapper girls who live intensely. The flapper slang word that describes a young woman is supposed to be a young bird that beats its wings while learning to fly….

A fashionable flapper had short smooth hair, chest level, wore bright makeup, smoking a long pipe, exposed edges and embodied the spirit of recklessness dancing the nights in the era of jazz music.

The dresses were straight, leaving the arms bare with drop waist to hips. The chest was pressed, the waistline disappeared shoulders and highlighted hair became increasingly short.

In 20’s the narrow boyish style prevailed and womanly curves were eliminated. The line of clothing became simpler and the short hair sometimes straight and other wavy.

Their eyes were very accented with black shadows on the upper and lower lid and their lips were dark and intense.

Also, in 1920 the corset repealed giving even more freedom and for the first time  you could see the naked legs.

The shoes were comfortable to serve them in dance and the hats fits perfectly to the head until the eyebrows giving prominence to their haircuts.
