Many folks damned 20's fashion for being too "modern" - maybe they were just scared of a woman with a sense of style and individuality.

No self-respecting liberated woman would wear those Victorian clothes. . . the organ-crushing corset? Don't be silly. . .

With the gift of reflection, we can see how the simple styles of 1920's fashion allowed a woman's beauty and elegance to shine through without the fake curves made by fashion's torture devices - the corset and crinoline.

A Woman's Natural Beauty Was Allowed to Speak For Itself

The modern "high-waisted" dresses gave women added confidence in the shape of their bodies. . . and as a bonus 'twenties fashions allowed them to move freely around the dance floor, and exposed the right amount of skin (in just the right places) to gain the attention of just the right men.

1920's fashion breathed timeless sex appeal, yet tempered it with elegance and class.

Thanks to the decade's beautiful celebrities, the fabulous New York Broadway shows, and the media's obsession with what was "new", beautiful, and sexy - America's attention was firmly focused on acquiring a lifestyle of sexiness, freedom, and individuality.

This simplicity translated well to the sportswear Coco Chanel developed during the 1920's. . . adapting a mans clothes into woman's fashion because she felt too constricted and overdressed in the traditional woman's styles of the time.

While Chanel hinted at a distinct "masculine" influence that revolutionized 1920's fashion, another designer Madeline Vionnet made dresses that celebrated the female form and revolutionized modern clothing as well.

Both designers had profoundly influenced fashion in the 1920's. They continue to influence contemporary fashion today.
