Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, Hollywood Deco Fashions of the 1920s, traces the experiences of a young French woman along the path she followed in 1919 from a very small village in the south of France to the grandeur of Hollywood’s motion picture industry during its most electrifying and dazzling period—its golden age of the 1920s. Travel companion to a wealthy woman, Marianne Dunat’s rapture when experiencing the elegant fashion shows in New York and Paris evolved into a deep desire to develop her innate artistic skills. These skills were honed at a prestigious Hollywood fashion-design school to a level that eased her entry into designing costumes at one of Hollywood’s most notable motion picture studios of the early 1920s. The reader will be guided along artistic learning curves beginning with the most elementary form of sketching, to portraying in great detail the rudimentary components of the female head and body, and to the creation of exquisite apparel. The extensive span of Ms. Dunat’s artistry is self-evident and should be of significant appreciation by a wide audience, particularly that segment of the populace having a bias for chic apparel that symbolizes Hollywood’s grandest epoch—the 1920s. The illustrations in this work in conjunction with the story line establish its uniqueness in the arena of 1920s’ fashion design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saucy flappers and manic Charlestons, dramatic silent movies and the big-band euphoria of early jazz: the 1920s must surely rank among the most dashing eras in American style history, and this volume documents in ravishing detail the clothing that helped make the decade so stylish and glamorous. Sumptuously illustrated with more than 600 original photographs, drawings and prints, Fashion Sourcebook 1920sfocuses largely on the Art Deco period, with its beautiful beaded dresses, cloche hats and t-bar shoes as worn by the fashionable flappers and the "bright young things" of the time. Hemlines and haircuts both became drastically shorter, mirroring the changing social roles: at the decade's outset, women gained the right to vote and Prohibition led many otherwise law-abiding Americans to break the law of the land rather than abandon their gin fizzes. This title will prove an indispensable reference work not only for students of fashion but for all fashionistas seeking ideas for constructing a look of carefree liberation. An accompanying introduction outlines the major themes within fashion during this period, surveying its most famous designers and assessing their creative contributions.

Download or read book 1920s Jazz Age Fashion Photographs written by Martin Pel and published by Unicorn Publishing Group. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jazz Age Fashion focuses on women's clothing of the period, although not exclusively, whilst the introductory text will examine the social, political and cultural influences of the period setting into context the fashion of the period. Characterised by exuberance and optimism, the jazz age was a symptom of the end of the Great War and and the birth of America as a new world power. It was a period of unprecedented social change for women who were, for the first time in history, given the vote on a par with men (1920 USA, 1928 Britain). The birth of Modernity in the 1920s established women's lives as 'active' and fashion reflected and celebrated these new social roles. A new 'boyish' silhouette, la garconne, became the look for women of the twenties with a gradual acceptance of trousers as fashionable dress. The passive sun bathing became the active swimming, and companies such as Jantzen recognised these changes creating the'speed suit' for women. The 1920s saw technology and innovative textiles, with the introduction of the artificial silk Rayon and the zip, contributing to an easier approach to fashionable dress.Some of the greatest couturiers were working in Britain and France in this period - Chanel, Patou, Lucile, Lanvin, Vionnet, Hartnell, Molynuex.In America Hollywood stars such as Clara Bow and Louise Brooks brought the New Woman to millions of women across the world and Hollywood became a major influence on all fashion, from department stores to couturiers, disseminating these new looks to previously untapped markets.
