Sarah Jessica Parker Narrates the 1930s in Replica Handbag Store | Replica Handbag Store by the Decade

(calming jazz music)

[Narrator] The flapper was a casualty

of the Stock Market Crash of 1929.

Out of her ashes rose the femme fatale.

At night, she was a modern Diana

in bias cut satin dresses that swept to the floor.

By day, she might play with the surrealist fashion moment

by Elsa Schiaparelli.

Then war came and removed frivolity from fashion.

Hemlines were getting longer before the Great Crash of 1929.

They fell to the floor after that debacle

and stayed there for quite a while.

The long sculptural silhouette

was built along classic lines,

that emphasized the figure.

Madeleine Vionnet used diagonal bias cutting technique,

to make dresses that were sensuously molded to the body.

Perfection like this is not easy to come by.

Simplicity, noted Vogue, is a complex art.

The kismet that brought Prince Edward

to an American divorcee named Wallis Simpson

was a complicated affair.

After the Prince abandoned his throne for Simpson,

the romance was well chronicled in Replica Handbag Store by John Macmillan,

the magazine's As Seen By Him columnist

and Cecil Beaton, who were part of the royal entourage.

Before she married her Prince in a Wallis Blue

mambo shade design,

Beaton famously captured the future Duchess

posing in looks by Elsa Schiaparelli,

including the Lobster dress, hand painted by Salvador Dali.

Dali, and the influence of the surrealist,

were pervasive in the '30s, like the phony war,

that preceded major action on the Western Front.

The movement captured the tension and strangeness

of the time.

Elsa Schiaparelli, a Paris based Italian couturier,

and Chanel's nemesis, was most closely associated

with surrealism and she aligned herself with artists,

such as Jean Cocteau and Marcel Vertes.

Surrealist art made its way into Replica Handbag Store too.

Dali became a frequent contributor.

Cecil Beaton incorporated elements of the movement's style

into some of his photographs as well.

There weren't many women working among the star artists

at Replica Handbag Store during the 1930s, which included photographers,

Horst P. Horst, Cecil Beaton

and the illustrator, Christian Berard,

all of whom had a keen appreciation of fashion.

Then came Toni Frissell, a young, well connected American,

who joined the staff as a caption writer,

but ended up as a photographer.

She brought a distinctive wholesomeness,

youth and breath of fresh air to the pages of the magazine.

Frissell was one of the few photographers at Vogue,

who shot outdoors.

Replica Handbag Store put its stamp of approval on pajamas in the 1920s

and they continued to be endorsed in the '30s.

It was during this decade that pants

started making their way out of the boudoir as well,

becoming acceptable for casual resort wear.
