Ever since I attended Cape Town’s first Rockabilly festival back
in April I’ve had this fascination for 50’s inspired styles which coincidently have
been featuring heavily in some of our designer 2013 winter collections. I’ve been lusting after Selfi’s, Goudi 50's full
skirt in blue with unconventional fold details for weeks now, and with the release
of the highly anticipated Great Gatsby movie and the Great Gatsby speakeasy of
the year happening tomorrow, I can’t help but get caught up in the 1920’s too.
Both the runway and the red carpet are heavily referencing
the elegant 1920’s, so now is the time to experiment with adornments that made the
Roaring 20s era so influential. World War 1 was finally over; art and creative
expression were alive again, and with it came new and colourful fabrics and
materials.
We’ve had a think, rounded up the best references in the Mr & Mrs Store, and then
there’s the products you need to get you there. Bootlegged Gin and Dirty
martini optional.
