Christian Dior> Jazz Collection S/S 2008
Dior reinvents the classic 1920′s flapper girl by bringing them to the present. This time, there is a fine line between the feminine and masculine. The pin stripes and broad shouldered suits that were characteristic of the men who frequented jazz bars are now meshed in the same collection with the lacy, sparkly, see through sheers of flapper girls. The combed over hair is very masculine, the makeup is still very much the essence of a flapper girl. This women’s collection encompasses the essence of the roaring twenties while representing how much women have evolved from the flapper girl era–now it is the norm for women to also have a masculine side.
