Maybe late-teens/early-20s
What I saw in downtown L.A. just a couple of weeks ago (in the Garment District), looked more like WWI-inspired fashion: long, somewhat frilly dresses with full waistlines, accompanied by large, boxy hats. I was actually taken aback, because the clothing strongly reminded me of some photographs that I have of my grandmother, taken about 1913. Whether or not this is somehow tied into Flapper-inspired fashion is a mystery to me, but it none-the-less took me for a loop. Has anyone else noticed this in other parts of the country (or world)?[huh]
Dexter'sDame said:Yes, in L.A. this past summer I saw the flapper-inspired fashions among young actresses...You had to closely to notice it; here in L.A. it's more flapper-inspired rather than a literal translation, and it's never the whole look with hair, makeup, shoes, etc..The L.A. interpretation has not yet trickled down to street fashion all that much here...(the details are expensive).
