1920s Glamour

The 1920s is probably one of my favourite fashion eras.  Women got rid of the corsets and long dresses and introduced glamour and dancing into their lives.  Coco Chanel introduced loose fitting jersey, waistlines and necklines dropped, and there was so much detail; fringe, sequins, velvet.  The 1920s are definitely influencing fashion today.  Below are some dresses both from the high street and from design houses for AW15 that grabbed key trends from the 1920s...

Designers
Marchesa
Flappers were originated in the 1920s and most wore fringe.  See below how Marchesa used fringe for AW15.  Lots of sparkly details were also used which was definitely a trend of the 20s as women were finally able to add ornamentation to their garments. 

Unsure of Designer

I stupidly didn't save these looks under the designer so now I can figure out who they are by, but I wanted to keep them in because they illustrated perfectly the 1920s influence, with the great sparkly details, deep neckline, and loose fitting shapes.

J. Mendel

For AW15 J. Mendel showed a few really cute short dresses with drop waist and in really great textured fabrics.

Missoni
This shift dress from Missoni for AW15 displays pleating and a shift like shape that sits away from the body.

Valentino
This super cute Valentino dress for AW15 uses great details, sheer fabric, and a slightly dropped waist.  This dress is sweet, but also in an amazing blue colour and a boyish collar, androgyny, popular in the 20s, comes through.
