"Hair worn very short, and “shingled” to taper close to the head in back, was part of the “boyish” look that was adopted even by chic older women in the mid to late 1920’s. (For more about bobbed and shingled hair in the mid-twenties, click here.) It was not bulky, so it “worked” under a cloche hat, leaving small amounts of hair visible on the cheek." -- via witness2fashion.wordpress.com #marcel #vintagehair #1920s #roaring20s #20shair #shorthairstylesforwomen #shorthair
How King Tut changed '20s Fashion
The discovery of King Tut was a major influence of fashion, art and design in the Art Deco period. Egyptomania & ‘Tut’mania swept the world in the 1920s after the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb. Ancient Egyptian design heavily influenced the Art Deco style. Ancient Egyptian motifs were quickly integrated into fashion, makeup, jewelry, architecture and especially Hollywood! #fashionhistory #roaring20s #1920s #egyptomania #kingtut #artdeco #howandwhy

Oops! Wrong Century
“The New Woman of the 1920s boldly asserted her right to dance, drink, smoke, and date— to work her own property, to live free of the strictures that governed her mother’s generation. (…) She flouted Victorian-era conventions and scandalized her parents. In many ways, she controlled her own destiny” - #20s #flapper #roaring20s #jazzage #greatgatsby #vintagegifs #retro
