Young and beautiful. Fashion of the twenties
69.99 €
Young, edgy, wild, rhythmic, jazzy. These are the enthusiastic epithets commonly used to describe the 1920s. This objectively beautiful time remains popular and, it seems, leaves no one indifferent. Films are made about it, musicals are staged, exhibitions are held, and novels are written about it. The syncopated rhythm of the 1920s resonates in modern architecture, design, fine art, photography, and costume.
In her book, Olga Khoroshilova presents this beautiful and wild era through the prism of fashion. The author writes about the style icons and leading couturiers of the time, and how World War I shaped the garçonne style, and how cosmetologists shaped the flapper style. Sports, jazz, clubs, gangsters, Wall Street, free love, travesty, African dance, Art Deco, the avant-garde, and even archeology—all the most important cultural phenomena of the era are described in the context of their influence on fashion.
Olga Khoroshilova's book is a costume biography of the 1920s. Written in a lively style and lavishly illustrated, it will appeal to a wide range of readers.
