We have to wait until December to see the screen adaptation of F.Scott Fitzgerald’s classic “The Great Gatsby” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan, but you can channel your inner Daisy Buchanan with so many of the looks from the Spring/Summer 2012 runways.
Etro Spring/Summer 2012
Etro and Gucci definitely did it best. Flapper style dresses with an art deco flare. Loved it! So many designers took us back to the roaring 20’s, when Prohibition was the law and hidden hedonism was the way of the day.
The black and gold dresses with bugle beads and swinging skirts. It was the age of decadence and it was also revisited by Alberta Ferretti, Celine, Ralph Lauren and Marc Jacobs.
But you can’t dress up in a 20’s style without stacking up on loads of pearl necklaces, carrying a feather cover up or holding a crystal embellished clutch.
So hit the vintage stores and see what you can find! Then you can rock out your inner flapper girl. But this time, the alcohol is legal.
