The Great Gatsby
08.Feb,2012
Put on some jazz and grab a cocktail because Great Gatsby fashion is making a major comeback this season.
(Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Toby McGuire are set to star in Baz Luhrmann’s remake of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel)
A sense of hedonism sweeps the summer as designers pay tribute to the Roaring 20’s. Cloche hats, drop waists, flapper dresses and embellished jackets dominated many a collection, with an emphasis on Gatsby-inspired glam.
Calvin Klien kept the look simple with snug silhouettes and minimal styling.
Etro took texture to the next level, combining beading, fringing, lace and luxe silk into gorgeous Gatsby style frocks.
Ralph Lauren took the most literal approach with beaded dresses paired with feather cover-ups, cloche hats and lady-gangster suits.
Alberta Ferretti’s line of drop waist dresses just screamed ’20s-glam.
Gucci rocked in Art Deco style with geometric prints in black, white and gold.
Oscar de la Renta paid tribute to the flappers with miles and miles of fringing.
