La Mode des Années 20

Lthe Roaring Twenties rhyme with creativity ! Lthe arts abound, communicate with each other, demonstrate daring. We celebrate surrealism.
Le photographer Man Ray sublimates women's bodies. Everyone wants to rub shoulders with Gertrude Steirn's literary salon, which welcomes into her home the biggest names in American literature : Dos Passos, Hemingway, Steinbeck.

Ma Penderie Vintage - Les années 20

We want novelty, lightness, things that shine, after the events of the Great War. The same goes for fashion in the 1920s with a significant phenomenon of emancipation among women.
Many adopt, like Louise Brooks or Joséphine Baker, short, boyish cuts.

Lskirts and dresses become shorter, revealing the legs, the lines become more fluid with straight cuts. Some dare to wear pants. La woman becomes androgynous and asserts herself, including in her outfit.
Some, like in England, obtain the right to vote.
However, we do not neglect accessories and dresses, particularly those magnificently crafted evening dresses : in silk, with fringes, with sequins or even glass beads.
It's the Gatsby dress that everyone knows and let's face it, some people would love to have the special occasion to wear it.

To get a better idea of ​​feminine and masculine looks, it is best to rewatch “ The Artist ” with Jean Dujardin or the series “ Peaky Blinders ”.
1929 and the Wall Street crash puts an end to all this splendor. We put away everything that shines for more sober colors, less jewelry and furs. Mbut we're tackling another story here.
In the meantime, what accessories or clothing from the Roaring Twenties would you like to adopt in your daily life ?
