When I think of glamour and style I think immediately of the 30's, 40's and 50's. An era where experimentation in design and fabric were to compliment the womanly physique and not just cover it, leading to a romantic age in shapes and cuts. With all the diversity of this time in fashion, the sweeping silloutes that domintated evening wear trends are by far my great loves from the era. Icons such as Marilyn, Sophia Loren, Lauren Becall, Lucielle Ball and designers such as Dior, Givenchy, Chanel and Madeleine Vionnet have all become fashion inspirations that can be seen resonating in todays styles and trends.
My favourite mordern designer whose work is often reminicent of this era is Carla Zampatti. Her shapes and designs bring the romance back into today's fashion. If I could have a closet full of her artwork, I'd be a very happy lady!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!
If you know any other designers that work within these historically romantic guidelines, feel free to share!
