All that jazz

I visited the Fashion and Textile Museum  recently to see an exhibition on 1920s Jazz Age Fashion. After WW1 women's fashion reflected a more active lifestyle. Hemlines began to rise, tiny waist lines disappeared and women were more active. The 1920s allowed for all shapes and sizes in a multitude of styles., some of which have stood the test of time and are still around today.

  5. Interesting shots from a different age. I've never understood fashion, I'm a jeans and t-shirt guy. Most days I dress up for work, I put on a polo shirt with my jeans.
