Art Deco back on the scene

As well as the present return of the 1920s flapper, Art Deco influences are also finding their way into fashion. Not tied entirely to the formal start and end of the Art Deco era, the influence begins with earlier Art Nouveau and follows right through to the glamour of 40s silver screen starlets. Look out for the geometric shapes, curved lines and exotic influences that defined the era.

The Icons and Influences:

• Tamara de Lempicka
• 1940s Power dressing – Katherine Hepburn and Lauren Bacall
• The Chrysler Building
• Cubism

The Elements:

• Sophistication
• Marc Jacobs A/W 2007
• Glamorous dresses with geometric details
• Wide-leg pants
• Egyptian themed jewellery – scarab beetles, turquoise, coral
• Gold
• Dresses by Badgley Mischka and Ellie Saab, Spring 2008 (pictured)

Trend Status
Though Marc Jacobs' 07 foray into Art Deco dressing was too demure an overall look to be picked up en mass, elements of the style are going strong and will carry through to 2008. Take particular attention to jewellery and accessories in quirky and exotic shapes; lucite and bakelite; and 30s style hats.
