Less is more was most definitely not a commonly used phrase in this decade. There was no such thing as too much, one single outfit would often include sparkling embellishments, beads, tassels, sequins, elaborate jewels and bold patterns. A combination that would not be put together today as we tend to choose one or the other, but somehow the Flapper girls made it work. And, they didn’t just make it work, they done it whilst oozing class and sophistication.
The dramatic style wasn’t by any means limited to the clothes, it continued on to the hair, make up and even the interior design of many households and establishments. Black, Gold and Silver shades were firm favourites for all aspects of style which we think is another nod to wealth and luxury which is what this decade was all about.
