Clothing in the style of "The Great Gatsby"
After the screening "The Great Gatsby" based on the writer's novel of the same name Francis Scott Fitzgerald, the character fell in love with the entire American audience, subsequently gaining worldwide public approval.
The novel is based on a love story that has a tragic ending. After the First World War and the horror of that period, it is time for restoration, the revival of the affected countries. Buildings are rebuilt, the period of development of the US economy begins.
It was in the 1920s that a furious race for material enrichment began, which served as an impetus for the development of organized crime. Unlimited materialism reigned in society. It is these historical moments that are indirectly reflected in the novel. The political and moral life of society is illustrated by a love story with a tragic end, as a result of immorality.
It should be noted that the novel gained worldwide fame after the death of the author. During World War II, the book was forgotten. Already in the 1950s, Hollywood was inspired by the story of the protagonist Mr. Jay Gatsby. Today, this novel is required reading in most English-speaking schools around the world. Modern Library ranked the book number two on their list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.
Since the release of the novel, five adaptations have already been filmed.The most ambitious was the version of the film adaptation directed by Baz Luhrmann. The American classic F. Fitzgerald could not even think that his hero would serve as the basis for creating a separate trend in fashion.
Gradually after the First World War, women began to shorten the length of the dress. In the early 20s, dresses above the knees were considered unacceptable. Approaching the 30s, they became much shorter and showed the knees. Open arms, décolleté, back. Fitted models go away, geometry and asymmetry dominate.
Modest youth adorn themselves with pleated skirts, jersey dresses. Now various folds are in fashion, which appeared not only on dresses, but also on jackets. Since the legs become an object of demonstration to others, they are decorated with stockings. Patterned stockings are a detail that emphasizes the style of The Great Gatsby. Pumps are gaining popularity, they declare women's independence and the need for convenience. When it was muddy outside, the girls put on rubber caps to protect their shoes and stockings from splashes.
