between the wars/ art deco




I have been asked to research the 1920 and 1930s, looking at major events that took place and the fashion trends in this period. I have been asked to design an evening garment for a women or a man (ball gown or a suit). I have also got to look at Art Deco architecture, pottery, posters and art work for social influence. I had full range on which direction I can take my garment in to. I have also got to produce a print in textile which will be influence by Raf Cosford and art deco, RAF cosford is an army base that you can visited to view old war planes.

After doing a little research I became aware that women lost the silhouettes and went for the young boy look. They were known as the flappers the rebel of their generation. They wanted to stand out and be heard. They wanted to be different.

following on from looking at the flappers and the fast that they like to have the manly silhouette i decided to start looking in to men suit more and found out that the ganster suit became big in america in this period.
