A century later, the spirit of the Roaring 20s is still alive and well. “Roaring Back” is a tribute to the styles that were born from that age and reflected in the modern trends of today. The styles from a century ago were full of rebellion, confidence and glamour. Aspects from this style, like drop waists, beading and luxurious dresses are timeless - and because of that, constantly recurring.
Fashion acts as a bridge between times as trends return with echoes of the eras that shaped them, whether born from joy, rebellion, or recovery. The styles of the 1920s were full of freedom and change. Revisiting them today isn’t pure nostalgia, it’s about embracing that spirit of empowerment and using fashion as the tool of expression that it is.
In this shoot, elegance meets boldness. A black full-length gown brings quiet drama, while a maroon flapper-inspired dress moves with flair and confidence. The beaded blouse paired with a velvet skirt brings the past into the present. The shimmer, textures and silhouettes all nod to the original trends they came from. Taking inspiration from fashion from the past ignites creativity and originality for the present. It’s a reminder that true style is timeless and always evolving.
