With Baz Luhrmann’s newest film, The Great Gatsby gracing our screen this summer (2013) I am thrilled to think that all things 1920s could make a HUGE come-back.
What is it about this era that is so appealing? I am especially a sucker for the dance styles of this period, for example the Charleston. This cheeky and slap-stick dance has me reaching for my dancing shoes. I just wish the clubs and bars of Leeds were full of this kind of dancing, but this is sadly not the case, so I will have to settle for my Saturday night fix of strictly... for now.
The fashion of the day is also something that I find fascinating, and I am hoping this film will have an impact on the high-street. Some pieces can already be found in Topshop, so I’m hoping this is a sign of things to come.
Not only was the clothing so unique, but the jewellery was too. I have instructed my partner - of 4 years – that if he considers proposing one day, it better be with an antique, 1920s art deco ring!
The strings of pearls, flapper head dresses, tassels and feathers set me off into a fashion frenzy.
Please let there be a big 1920s revival, do you think there will be?
Lizzie
