Book Review: Fashions of a Decade: The 1920's
This book details not just the fashions of the 20's, but also the culture. Some fashionable people of the time are woven into the information. There are lots of pictures, both black and white and color illustrations. I had no idea 20's styles could look so good! I' in love with the Egyptian inspired brooch on page 47. Menswear is covered as well as women's fashions. A considerable portion of the book is dedicated to background information that helps explain the mentality of the times.
Although the 20's is not my favorite decade, the book did inspire some interest. My take aways from this book were that I like Egyptian inspired jewelry, women wearing tailored menswear and 20's era hats.
Rating: 4 Stars.
