Roaring 20's ruled the runway at the Ralph Lauren 2012 Spring Fashion Show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York, September 2011.
Spring Fashion Trend #5 was inspired by design that was popular in the 1920s.the flappers were a complete break through during the 20's in the fashion trend.
They included short dresses in the flapper style; that is, sleeveless shifts, often with fringe or beading, just as was popular during the 1920s.
At Ralph Lauren many models wore cloche hats. During the 1920s the cloche was the most popular hat style in a time when women seldom left home without wearing a hat for day or a hair decoration for evening.
The Dictionary of Words and Phrases of William and Mary Morris states, “In America, a flapper has always been a giddy, attractive and slightly unconventional young thing who was somewhat foolish girl, full of wild surmises and inclined revolt against the precepts and admonitions of her elders. Yet F. Scott Fitzgerald had a more idyllic way of defining flappers and wrote, “lovely, expensive, and about nineteen”.
Today, there’s a whole new generation of flappers in plunging necklines, shorter hemlines, higher heels and better make up. They’re just as courageous and outrageous as before, and it’s the exact attitude that designers push on the runways with their fierce clothes, set trends and models who are more than ready to ramp and drop it like it’s hot .
Skip this trend if it doesn't speak to you, and if the 1920s-inspired clothing isn't flattering but you like the style, opt for some 1920s-inspired jewelry or a 1920s-inspired metal mesh evening bag.
Its a whole new look this season :D
