The Birth (and Rebirth) of 1920's Fashion

One of most exciting and innovative styles that women incorporated in 1920's fashion was the �Flapper� look. The Flapper look was really brought to the forefront by women such as Zelda Fitzgerald, the wife of American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Many books on the subject of 1920's fashion even go so far as to attribute the start of the Flapper craze to the clothing selections of Mrs. Fitzgerald.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgerald were considered to be prime examples of the splash and dash styling of the 1920s and were considered to be innovators when it came to the matter of 1920's fashion. In both the United States and in Paris they were considered fashion trendsetters at the head of the 1920s clothing game.

On some level in the 21st century, 1920's fashion have experienced a bit of a resurrection. A significant number of women, and not a few men, around the world have taken to wearing clothing items from the 20s with some regularity. Women can be seen in this day and age wearing clothing with 1920s flourishes and designs. Men can be seen sporting jackets, ties and shoes that have a vintage 1920s flair about them. 1920s clothing is not just for costume events anymore. These types of clothing designs can be found cropping up in day to day and special occasion apparel in many locations around the world.

Beyond basic 1920's fashion, other elements of 1920s design are cropping up in different areas in the 21st century. For example, in addition to 1920's fashion and apparel, the art deco architecture design scheme is becoming widely used in construction products in different parts of the world. There are whole districts that are being renovated and rehabilitated to best reflect their art deco origins.
