STYLING:
~ 1920s FASHION REVIVAL & 30s NOIR ~ Flapper girls & Noir vamps...
There are key eras of the 20th Century whose fashion we look back on and romanticize ~ the roaring twenties is undeniably one of them; and thanks to several hit TV shows and recent blockbuster films, fashion of the 20s and 30s is having a huge revival, and we couldn't be any happier.
The social changes of the 20s/30s era brought about the emergence of the sexy, frivolous, radical flapper girl, who flouted all the rules and conventions which had previously limited her ~ and film noir, influenced greatly by the heavy shadows of the 20’s German Expressionism movement, also had a dramatic influence on fashion. Respectively, though often tending towards the flapper in its softer femininity, a darker, more mysterious character was born. She oozed sex appeal, but she left you with the unsettling, yet alluring feeling of not knowing whether to kiss her and touch her, or run from her. Against the glittering silvers, whites, pastels and nudes of the flapper tide, the noir woman, known also as the 20s/30s vamp, wore black, velvets, silks, beautifully beaded, edged in lace, and sequins, a perfect symphony of subtle sexiness & iron clad mystery...
With so many styles to choose from ~ from the flirty fun-loving Bright Young Things who were the flapper girls, to the darker, mysterious edge of the noir vamp or the intoxicating damsel of the femme fatale ~ the 20s flapper and 30s Noir are fashion styles gaining as much enthusiasm and momentum this season as those women of the roaring twenties and delicious thirties notoriously lived their lives. ~
