Sweet Inspiration

In My Twenties…

By jennine ⋅ May 20, 2007 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ Post a comment

Inspired by the Poiret: King of Fashion exhibition and gala. Jessica Stam’s appearance in Dior, Marc Jacobs 20’s themes… the return of Gatsby, and my own feelings of decadence and appearance, of prohibition, and a shift consciousness. I’ve taken to looking at vintage clothing from the 20’s.

Right: Silk lace dress with faux garnet beading. Attributed to Poiret, c.1922.
Left: Deco silk tulle shawl, embroidered with a bold geometric pattern of metallic gold and silk floss,c.1920.
Right: Deco metallic brocade shawl with hand- knotted ombré silk fringe, c.1920.

  1. I love the 20s. Such great style. I find today’s trends dissapointing in comparison!
