The Roaring 1920's

1920's Fashion, The Jazz Age, and The Birth of Style

Coco Chanel 1920's Fashion Icon
Fashion has to do with ideas,
the way we live, what is happening.
                                                       
                      --Coco Chanel

"Discover the Essence of Fashion. . ."


M ost vintage fashion websites smell of mothballs and dust. . .

"What a shame." We ain't about to stuff the 1920's into some musty dresser next to old Aunt Mildred's bloomers (sorry Auntie).

Roaring Twenties' fashion and music is alive - it continues to inspire the world's most elegant fashions and brilliant music.

Following in the footsteps of the Roaring Twenties' style icons, we will explore the huge influence of 20's flapper fashions and hairstyles, the effect of movies and Broadway shows on fashion and music, the rise of the 1920's gangster and his role in men's fashion, and tease out jazz's influence on the landscape of modern musical style.

Let the 1920's inspire you!
