The Great Gatsby Fashion

Coming out the theater, despite feeling sad about lives that were corrupted by selfishness and greed, I was blown away by Baz Luhmann's version of The Great Gatsby.  His vision of the story was painted with lavish thematic scenes and featured the vibrant styles of Jazz Era. Miuccia Prada and Catherine Martin designed over 50 costumes for the film- the Golden Twenties' style with modern infusion. I have always been fascinated by the 20's. Its style is so distinguishable that even 90 years later, almost everyone still can recognize it.

My personal opinion is that the 20's was the beginning of the modern age. Coco Chanel said" fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." The world changed rapidly after WWI and fashion changed along with it. The Flappers - young women at the time, left their corsets behind and put on a cloche hat to cover their short locks.  They wore the dresses without waist or dropped the waistlines to their low hips and enjoyed the looseness of the prime time of their lives. Their dresses with the hemline just below the knees was often adorned with excessive fur and sequins. Fashion had changed, and it would never be the same.

Straight sheath dresses with Art Deco jeweling and applique, low-waist frocks, pleating and flounces pay homage to the twenties high fashion.

Selfridges & Co. London Window Display

In a freezing night, walking past the Selfridges window at Oxford street, 

the gigantic shoe caught my eyes.

It was made from steel pots and lids.  

Brilliant!

Go Polka Dots

      Have you been Louis Vuitton flagship store on 5th Ave and 57 street in Manhattan recently? I have been there this weekend and I love its new facade and  stunning window displays.

       I especially love this one. It was filled with red and white polka dotted tendrils emanating from the floor and ceiling like stalagmites and stalactites, surrounding a life-size wax statue of Yayoi Kusama herself. Yayoi Kusama is one of the most prominent contemporary artists in Japan. She is well known by using dense pattern of polka dots and nets, as well as her intense large - scale installation.

       It's amazing how one person can own polka dots in such a manner. They are just great fun, enjoy!
