Do wear a velvet trenchcoat, and don’t wear too much makeup… or is that not “modern”? I have been seeing this type of dress as the norm among the working classes in America in the 1950s, and the modern era is when I actually have felt modern. For a fashion point of view, it makes […]
“There are so many Roaring Twenties references,” says D.E. Smith, the author of “Inventing the Modern World.” “They’re one of the first and best-known periods in American pop culture, so we’re lucky that we really have this history of the ’20s being kind of a throwback period.” The earliest reference to the 1920s dates to […]
They had jobs for a reason. They weren’t there to be there and to be there for a job (and they may have been paid well), they weren’t there to get there, they were there for the feeling of being with a crowd, and the experience. So to me, a woman with her long coat […]
What are the people saying? What are their expectations?” he said. “The problem that I see with all this is nobody’s really talking about what it is about.” A group of students, one of his first college classmates and a former colleague, sat down in the middle of a crowded cafeteria, all wearing t-shirts and […]
It’s probably time to change up your old watch: It seems like only this year’s fashion accessories were high-end (like the stainless steel and diamonds-encrusted Rolex Daytona and $5999 Casio RZM) but all the rest, even those on the cheap end, had lots of appeal for the 1920s.

It’s not possible to discover all the facts about flapper dress at one go. There is no written definition of flapper dress, nor even an established style of flapper dress. But there is some evidence that this dress style had been around as long as you could find flaxen hair and the beginnings of the […]
Marcelled hair is the result of a chemical reaction between salt, wax and silica crystals and minerals that are found in hair – and sometimes, the body as well. As you can imagine, this causes a lot of hair to be slightly “off”. What can you do about it? There is a variety of treatments […]
The first person to produce a flapper dress was an English shoemaker named Henry Stowe Wren, who created a skirt which was a cross between the old style “petticoat” and an old style gown. He was inspired by the skirt worn by the Italian Renaissance woman Francesco Sforza; he came up with his idea for […]
[5:20:31 AM] I think it was 1985. Wasn’t really the time. [5:20:33 AM] I guess I was too young to enjoy high fashion/fashion in general. [5:20:35 AM] Anyway I was too young to actually enjoy what i’m talking about [5:20:40 AM] I’m sorry but do you want to go to bed? [5:20:41 AM] No [5:20:49 […]
As the English say, Marcelled hair is hair that has been cut away by someone else. So the Marcelled hair is the head of a person that one has cut off. It is only for those people that don’t have a hair cut where it comes into life. Those people are called “Marauders” by the […]
