Satin Rose
It’s no secret that history repeats itself in both politics and trend. For the last few years, fashion has been following suit reworking trends from all the last major decades from the 60's onward. However this fall, many designers have combined various generational trends notably pulling ideas from the 1930’s-1940’s interwar period styles.
Exiting the 1920's period of secret night clubs and bootlegging, where tight, shapely silhouettes and short hemlines were a la mode , the following decade began to cover back up and change shape. Attention began to be focused on the shoulder with the introduction of butterfly sleeves, caplets and bolero jackets. The invention of synthetic fabrics, nylon and zippers during this period allowed for increased construction experimentation and became more common place in fashion development. These new synthetic fabrics gave designers new opportunities in shape and structure. Pleating and draping gave way to new looks and waistlines which were heightened and re-adjusted.
Many contemporary designers are continuing to introduce these trends in their current collections. Designers like Rose and Imitation have developed the cropped Bolero jacket accentuating the waist and drawing attention to, and structuring the shoulder. This menswear style Bolero jacket pairs excellent with another trend of the season, the high waisted pant. Again, attention is drawn to the natural waistline displaying a woman's curves.
Los Angeles based label Rose, designed by Britt Bardo and Jewels Steger, evokes many interwar period trends in their Fall 2008 collection. A ¾ sleeve gown with high necklines and an open bare back, sweeps the floor with jersey drapes. Swingy jersey caplets with shoulder pleats fall loosely over the shoulder, like a Dorothy Gish outfit of the 1930's. Silk habotai tees and long wrap skirts also appear in deep, dark shades in their Fall 2008 collection.
Interwar period styling is evident in Rose's collection as it is with accessories such as the cloche hat and opaque stockings developed by designers like France's Isabel Marant, and Brooklyn's Victor Osborne. Cloche, french for bell, was a very popular late 1920's, early 1930's hat style that sits low on the head allowing for the peaking of the eyes. Women would style ribbon bows upon their cloche hats depending on their marital status; a ribbon with a knot signified marriage, whereas one with a flamboyant bow signified a woman’s single status.
Pleated blouses reminiscent of Lauren Bacall continue to be on trend for Fall 2008. Rachel Comey, 3.1 Phillip Lim and Canada based Mercy have all developed feminine silk blouses with incredible detailed work. Neck bows and form fitting construction focus the gaze on the woman’s shape and structure, while still covering skin. All and all Fall 2008’s influence by the 1930’s and early 1940’s continue to prove that fashion is not only about developing the trends of the future, but taking inspiration from the golden artifacts and archives of the past.
