Christian Dior a/w

These are images from Christian Diors A/W 2009 runway collection. The collection was heavily inspired by 1920's flapper makeup. I feel that they have taken make-up inspiration from the 1920's but adapted it, for high fashion, to fit the catwalk.

The Great Gatsby Ballet

These are the images from The Great Gatsby Ballet. Directed by David Nixon, he said that he wanted to make the audience feel like they were from the twenties.  The outfits are beautiful, yet simple in colour, as all of the images above show cream coloured clothing. Daisys make-up in these images is clean complexion, with a striking red lip, perhaps to symbolise her sexuality.

1920'S HAIR STYLES

The Marcel wave is the iconic 20's hairstyle. Here are some styles from the 20's.

 
 

I have found some more modern interpretations of the marcel wave or 'finger wave'.
This is a look from the SS 2011 PRADA collection.

Here is my first attempt at creating the marcel wave in our technical sessions.

 

This look was created by getting the front of the hair wet, and combing it back. Then, whilst pressing down hard on the damp hair, comb the hair the opposite way. A grip is then placed in the curve. This continues for the rest of the hair. Once you have reached the end, pin curl the hair up.

possible outfits for Daisy

Ive been online shopping for possible outfits for Daisy for each image
i have found a sequinned dress from Topshop, which i feel reflects the 1920's flapper style and high fashion.
