Roaring Twenties • S/S 2012

Photos via style.com - Collages by me

The 1920's style is easily recognizable by the dropped-waist skirts, opulent beading and lace, deep v-necklines, fringed dresses, extra long necklaces and tassels.  Many designers were influenced by the twenties for Spring 2012 but the fashion house who embraced this look the most was Ralph Lauren.



Fun fact: "In 1974, not long after he founded his company, Ralph Lauren designed the costumes for The Great Gatsby. They launched a mini Jazz Age trend at the time and jump-started his career. Today, with Baz Luhrmann remaking the film—Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan are reprising the roles originally played by Robert Redford and Mia Farrow—Lauren took the opportunity to revisit the roaring twenties, half a year before the movie actually hits screens."
