The Great Gatsby film and the anniversary of the Kennedy eras in magazines and now on the runways, demonstrate clearly that fashion is turning to the bygone eras of the 1920’s flapper and also the 1950-60 with the divergent construction of garments which each era excelled in achieving.
For the 1920’s Gatsby era look, we have bias cut silk dresses, hems just below the knee or mid calf, beading and fringe which shimmered and swung as the wearer moved, close cropped hats worn just above the eyebrows, and short curled hair to emphasize the enhanced eyebrows and lipstick in deep shades of red.
