The Thirties – A decade of fashion
Dear readers,
The 1930s was a decade marked by the Great Depression, and, at the same time, it brought significant advancements in style and design. Let’s take a closer look, see the key trends in fashion and interior design from that era:
- The 1930s fashion emphasized a more elongated, slim silhouette with natural waistlines, often cinched to highlight an hourglass figure.
- Introduced by designer Madeleine Vionnet, the bias cut dress became popular, allowing the fabric to drape and move fluidly, creating a sleek and body-skimming effect.
- Pioneered by designers like Elsa Schiaparelli, shoulder pads were used to create a strong and defined shoulder line.
- Women's daywear was made of tailored suits and dresses with modest hemlines, typically mid-calf length. Moreover, preference was given to practical fabrics like cotton, wool, and rayon, providing durability and comfort.
- Women’s evening wardrobe were mainly glamorous gowns, often made from luxurious fabrics like silk, satin, and velvet. They featured details like beading, sequins, and ruffles. Moreover, the backless evening dress became a sensation, offering a combination of sophistication and allure.
- The accent was made through accessories: Hats were an essential part of the 1930s wardrobe, ranging from cloche hats to wide-brimmed styles. Gloves were worn for both day and evening occasions. Art Deco influences continued with geometric shapes and bold designs in jewelry.
A small history of the SLIP dress
The SLIP dress - a seductively flowing outfit, daring, but incredibly charming, once carefully hidden from prying eyes - today is a desired toilet for many women. It emphasizes a magnificent figure, puts the beauty of the body on a pedestal, and easily breaks a man's heart!
The slip dress, known for its simple yet elegant silhouette, has been a significant part of the fashion history: its first wave of popularity came in the twenties of the last century, when women used to wear a black silk slip dress, palm-length below the knee, combined with fur capes or short fur coats. The next wave arrived in the sixties, when the slip dress was recognized as a must-have silhouette for a woman’s wardrobe. While later, in the nineties, thanks to designers like Calvin Klein and John Galliano for Dior, it came back and was especially noted as a symbol of minimalist fashion.
