Often years 20 and 30 are seen under the wrong perspective, the one relative to the end of the 1st World War and the dawn of the totalitarian regimes in Europe, in short, a period of confusion, social struggles and wild colonialism.

However the first decades of the 1900 they have been a very productive time for the international fashion, just think of the first ones Maison most successful French (Coco Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Dior) or Italian (Trussardi, Luisa Spagnoli, Gucci) who saw their initial in those years affirmation.

Style "Charleston"Was the fashion of the moment, very elegant clothes double breasted and tailcoat for men and short dresses with mother-of-pearl or sequined accessories for women. A perfect example of the 20/30 look is given by the film “The Great Gatsby” diretto da Baz Luhrmann, e da cui le immagini in questo articolo sono tratte, che ripercorre la trama del libro di Francis Scott Fitzgerald in which thefemale emancipation timidly appeared in the culture.

Me too'female hairstyle suffered a profound contamination. Headphones, nets, beads, foulard, fringes is waves were it favorite style and more to the fashion for all the women who felt the need attract attention.
