FASHION: SPIRIT OF THE GATSBY GIRLS

The flapper really is dapper this season as fashion takes its inspirations from Gatsby glamour. There’s something undeniably appealing about this “anything goes” era, after all these were the original fashionistas who shortened hemlines, slicked back their hair and had a charming sense of recklessness about them.

Feminine, sexy and oh-so sassy, it’s perfect for the woman who wants to show off. After all, you can hardly be a wall flower in a feather skirt a la By Malene Birger. Opt for a mostly monochrome palette with feminine lace and silk in playful prints for a look worthy of any silent movie heroine.
