The Age of Jazz! Art Deco Fashion and Style

Description

Art Deco swept across Europe and America in the 1920s, bringing with it a transformation in design.  From brightly coloured, geometric patterns on fabrics, wallpapers and in book illustration to the soaring, elegant lines of New York skyscrapers.  Art Deco helped to introduce Modernism to a mass audience.  Fashion design too was affected by the new style, bringing with it beaded ‘flapper’ dresses, fabulous handbags and bias-cut dresses.  Hollywood was quick to reflect the new style, perhaps best epitomised in the films of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.  This lecture gives an overview of Art Deco style and design and also looks at the movement’s legacy today
