The Great Gatsby and 2013 Fashion

                     The Great Gatsby Jazz Age Glamour

 

Even before the premiere of the much anticipated Baz Luhrman film The Great Gatsby at Cannes Film Festival, fashion has been loving the glamorous flapper fashion and opulent jewels of the 1920s. From the catwalk right through to the high street fashion was paying homage to the eagerly awaited film. With Miuccia Prada masterminding the iconic costumes, the film was always going to be a visual spectacle. 

This stylish interpretation of The Great Gatsby has had even the most hardened fashionistas clamouring for the look. Thanks to the high street it is easy to incororate the look into your everyday style - without the weight of some of the Miuccia Prada designed costumes - poor Carey Mulligan! (well actually no not poor at all, I would loved to have tried on some of those fabulous dresses!)

As for the opulent jewels, we can't all afford the gorgeous Tiffany pieces, but again we can all recreate the look. Probably the most iconic pieces of jewellery from this era are the long strands of glass beads or pearl necklaces.

 Jazz Age Pearls

For a little sparkle marcasite jewellery is also perfect for Jazz Age glamour.

Oh and don't forget that sparkly head piece - but perhaps save for evening glamour, don't overdo the look!!




So enjoy the glamour of the 1920s with a little 2013 update.

Let me know if you loved the film too.
