1930’s

Influences came from  the art of the time – geometric patterns were used, dresses cut on the bias – longer and more elegant than the era before.

The 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs and Industriels Modernes showed a more grown up attitude to style.

This style now recognised as Art deco, influenced interiors, architecture and of course fashions. Hats, bags and gloves accompanied fabulous coats with fur collars.
