The Past is always the future.
The fashion of Flappers
The 1920s were a time of young women and men rebelling against the old rules of the world. And trying to express themselves.
More women were starting to want to wear whatever they chose and not what was appropriate at this time. And that’s when flappers came into play; they were performing women always wearing pearls and beautiful sparkly dresses.
Flappers were women of class and money, showing their wealth with their beautiful dresses. Always dancing and singing music in Jazz bars.
FUN FACT: The term Flappers originated in North England. The term meant “Teenage girl,” and it referenced their cut hair and rebellious nature.
The Callot sisters
These four sisters are the great Callot Sisters, and they had an amazing fashion company designed and owned by them. It was called the Callot Soeurs; they would make and design dresses for weddings, professional attire and more.
Anna May Wong
This young lady’s name is Anna May Wong; she was Hollywood’s first Chinese American on the big screen. She played in many films like “The Toll of the Sea” (1922), “Daughter of the Dragon” ( 1931) and many more. Ms.Wong broke the prejudiced mindset of the people of America, with her beauty and fashion making waves, showing others that her exotic look was beyond stereotypes. And bring power to other Chinese young women so that they two can become more than what people see them as.
Clara Bow
This young lady you see here is the famous actress Clara Bow, and she played in films like “Dangerous Curves (1929), “Hoop-La (1933)”, and “Ladies of the Mob” ( 1928). She played in many more famous movies, but what people loved about Clara Bow was her undoubtedly beautiful style. She brings to light the Flapper style and shows women a new area of hairstyle: the bob cut. And that in itself changed the women’s rights movement.
