The 1920’s look is in again. That’s just perfect! If Obama gets elected it’ll look really good with the Great Depression he’ll bring on America; bigger than the one of 1929.
The zoot suit was from the late 1930s and the 1940s, not the twenties. The film Casablanca was 1942.
The twenties, of course, is famous as a period of prosperity and wild living in the US. Unfortunately, it ended with the election of Franlklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 and the Great Depression, which he caused with his Communistic policies. I hope that is not an augury for the election of another Communist (Obama) and another Depression due to the imposition of Communist policies on the US.
Wonderful!
Just as long as they aren’t in those lousy mucky, muddy colors, and gray.
I hope kid gloves come back. Girls don’t know which lengths to wear when. The whole glove etiquette is lost knowledge.
Looking at those hats makes me want to do something Roaring Twenties-ish, like make gin in the bathtub.
The 20’s look first made a comeback in the 1960’s-early 70’s nostalgia era, especially due to the Bonnie & Clyde film. Like the old saying goes, everything old is new again. I remember buying a red felt cloche at the time, as a teen - a great hat.
By the way, a cloche would have literally been “old hat” during Humphrey Bogart’s movie-making years - far out of date at that point.
These are lovely... I’m not a fan of the knit one, but I’m glad to know that hats are back. Too bad the good ones are fairly expensive, but a girl can dream.
The Urban Outfitters knit cloche reminds me of something I crocheted back in the 70s (I learned as a little girl). It was kinda the ‘Rhoda Morgenstern’ (from the Mary Tyler Moore Show) ‘look.’ I crocheted vests too...
