After first reading the book The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald I have waited patiently for 3 years for a new film adaptation of the novel to be released and it is finally nearly here! Very disappointingly the release date has been pushed back from Christmas to July 2013 which I am not particularly impressed with.
However, with a fantastic cast of Carey Mulligan, Toby Macguire and my beloved Leonardo Dicaprio (obsessed since 1997), it will no doubt meet all expectations and be well worth the extra wait.
I love love love 1920's fashion and can't wait for this trend to emerge in stores next year. It is a particularly distinctive period in women's fashion as it signified liberation and restrictions deteriorating. In other words the ankles were now on show!
From the cloche hat to the flapper dress, the outfits of the 1920's are instantly recognizable and make a clear fashion statement.
In the re-make of the classic film the characters are of course set to be dressed head to toe by top designers. Miuccia Prada have reworked 40 dresses for the female cast members that depict the iconic era, while Tiffany and Co have provided all of the jewellery. Extreme envy of Carey Mulligan!
Prada have previously worked on another Baz Lurhmann film and designed a suit for Leonardo Dicaprio in Romeo and Juliet (coincidence?).
There are already traces of this trend hitting designer and high-street alike and I have spotted a few that are particularly stand out to me.
