Mary said:This is interesting! Please tell me more or are there any treads on this in this forum?! How does the british 1930's fashion differ from Parisian and American fashions?
I've been wondering about this too! Can we start a separate thread on this subject? I also found the bit about the British take on Modernism on the Old Town Clothing website super interesting:
"Britain didn’t quite take to the European style hard edged Modernism of the Twenties and Thirties, seeming to prefer an invented folk art vision of the past. With the outbreak of war and the atmosphere of land under threat the works of Samuel Palmer, William Blake and Thomas Bewick were re-discovered as inspiration."
There must be differences between American and European (Parisian) fashions too, with America leaning towards more "sporty" styles?
I know that the corsetless Regency/Empire style didn't catch on too well in Scandinavia because it was too damn cold for those sheer, breezy fabrics!
