1920s Fashion: a Journey in Photographs Through the Roaring Twenties

Flapper dresses were the bee's knees and cloche hats were the cat's pajamas! 

Interpretation in modern
Cinema has captured the pulse of the 20's and romanticized the age in many a film and TV show. The lives of Scott and Zelda Fritzgerald are documented in the series 'Z: The Beginning of Everything'. 'Downton Abbey' gives us a peek at what was going on in Europe, and of course, there is the one film (remade many times) that is eponymous with the flamboyance and decadence of the 20's jazz-age, 'The Great Gatsby' (adapted from F Scott Fritzgerald's classic novel).
