A brief history of the 1920s 1920s America was a time of decadence, the end of WWI signaling a period of cautionless exorbatence and new roles for women.
During the first world war, women were needed in factories to take jobs previously held by the men now serving in the war. After the end of the war in 1918, the men returned home and the women were asked to graciously leave their jobs so that the men could go back to work. Women that had more freedoms during the war when they were treated as equals, were not ready to go back to the ways things were; their tenacity reflected in the fashions of the times. A more boyish figure came into style; the womans shape either hiddden or disguised whereas before, it had been more pronounced. Hairstyles of the time were much shorter, with the ‘bob’ coming into play for the first time.

Know your ‘20s slang: Flappers were women who embraced the new subculture, with shorter hemlines, shorter hair, and Speakeasies were underground bars dedicated to serving illegal alcohol. Bobs were a new, shorter hairstyle that took hold in the twenties, showing that fashion was changing and women were
Women of the time were not entirely powerless, as shown by the prohabition movenemt, which was a mostly female movenent dedicated to the outlawing of alchohol. When the movement succeeded in January of 1920, it ushered in a new age of lawbreaking and subversion. The ‘speakeasy’ was an underground bar where they served liquor; people went to drink and have fun without getting arrested. Due to the illegal nature of speaseasies, they drew a more risqué crowd; women were more likely to drink and dance with the men, which was nearly unheard of before. The 1920s provided women with more freedom than they had ever had before, allowing them to do things that they previously wouldn’t have been able to do, like drink and wear more risque clothing.

Albert Anselmi were part of an assassination plot against him, he decided to take care of the matter himself. To put their minds at ease, he threw a banquet in their honor. While delivering a glowing testimonial to them, Capone suddenly pulled out an Indian club and beat both men to death. Although local and state authorities had been trying to bring down Capone for years, the federal government finally managed to do it by prosecuting him for income-tax evasion. He was tried, found guilty and sentenced to 11 years in the federal penitentiary in Atlanta, GA. In 1939 he was paroled because of the ravages of neurosyphilis, a disease he contracted while running Torrio’s and Colosimo’s whorehouses. He became confused and disorientated. His sentence was finally reduced to six and a half years for good behavior.
Al Capone Infamous Chicago gangster Al Capone was born in the tough Williamsburgh section of Brooklyn, NY, 1899, the fourth of nine children of Italian immigrants. Capone was a born sociopath. In the sixth grade he beat up a teacher and promptly quit school. He picked up his education from the streets. At the tender age of 26, Al Capone found himself in control of a sophisticated crime organization with 1,000 gunmen at his command and a $300,000-aweek payroll. It was estimated that at one point he had approximately half of Chicago’s police department on his payroll. Capone was probably the first “equal-opportunity” mob boss. While many of his fellow Italian and Sicilian gangsters would only hire those from their own ethnic group, Capone hired Jews, Irish, Poles, Slovaks, blacks--as long as he considered them trustworthy, they could work for Capone. He was not above killing on his own, either. When he was informed that his bodyguards John Scalise and

Louise Brooks Mary Louise Brooks, also known by her childhood name of Brooksie, was born in the midwestern town of Cherryvale, Kansas, on November 14, 1906. She epitomized the flapper age with her bobbed hairstyle, while blatantly flaunting the accepted sexual and societal roles of women at the time. She became known, mostly, for her bobbed hair style. Thousands of women were attracted to that style and adopted it as their own. She was no doubt the trend setter of the 1920s with her Buster Brown-Page Boy type hair cut. Brooksie he ended her career in film in 1938, she had made only 25 movies. After that, she spent most of her time reading and painting. She also became an accomplished writer, authoring a number of books, including her autobiography. On August 8, 1985, Louise died of a heart attack in Rochester, New York. She was 78 years old.
Designer Coco Chanel was born Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel in 1883, although she would later claim that her real date of birth was 1893, making her ten years younger. Coco was born in the workhouse in the Loire Valley where her unmarried mother worked, although she asserted that she was born in Auvergne.
Coco Chanel
Her mother died when she was six years old, leaving her father with five children, whom he quickly farmed out to various relatives. The young Chanel was sent to the orphanage of the Catholic monastery of Aubazine, where she learned the trade of a seamstress. When she turned 18, she left the orphanage, and took up work for a local tailor. In 1911 Coco started a relationship with a wealthy English Industrialist called Arthur Edward ‘Boy’ Capel. He installed her into a Parisian apartment and financed her first shops. The relationship
lasted nine years, even after Capel married in 1918. In 1919, the single most devastating event of her life occurred when Capel was killed in a car accident. She commissioned a roadside memorial at the site of the accident. During the 1920s, Coco Chanel became the first designer to create loose women’s jersey, traditionally used for men’s underwear, creating a relaxed style for women ignoring the stiff corseted look of the time. In 1922, she launched the fragrance Chanel No. 5, which remains popular to this day. Two years later, Pierre Wertheimer became her business partner (taking on 70% of the fragrance business), and reputedly her lover. The Wertheimers continue to control the perfume company today. Coco Chanel worked until her death in 1971 at the age of 88, spending her last moments in the style she had become accustomed to at her opu-
Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald (1900-1948) was an artist, writer, and popular-culture icon who helpedto establish the Roaring Twentiesimage of liberated womanhood. Barely a month after graduating from high school, Zelda met F. Scott Fitzgerald, a 21-year-old army second lieutenant. Despite Scott’s claim that he was on the verge of literary fame, Zelda doubted his financial prospects and entertained several other suitors. Zelda’s tactics fueled Scott’s insecurities, and the motif of a young man pursuing an elusive and conniving woman would later come to define his fiction. The couple wed in New York on April 3, 1920. One year later Zelda gave birth to the couple’s only child, Frances “Scottie” Fitzgerald. By the late 1920s, the Fitzgeralds’s highly publicized and often stormy relationship began to break down as Zelda sought outlets for her own creativity. In addition to writing, she returned to two childhood passions—art and dance. In 1930, stress resulting from her frustrated attempts to become a professional ballerina led to the first of what would be many psychological breakdowns. The Fitzgeralds parted ways in 1934, although they never divorced. Their daughter was largely raised by nannies before entering boarding school. Scott descended into alcoholism and literary obscurity, eventually dying of a heart attack on December 21, 1940.
Zelda Fitzgerald
She returned occasionally to Highland Hospital when her depression became debilitating. Zelda was one of nine women killed on the night of March 10–11, 1948, when a fire swept through her hospital wing.
Notable Mentions Charlie Chaplin “A day without laughter is a day wasted.” Josephine Baker “I wasn’t really naked. I simply didn’t have any clothes on.” Babe Ruth “Don’t let the fear of striking out hold you back.”

Then and the Flapper dress
the style Then This daring dress allowed arms to be bare and the waistline to drop to the hips. Sometimes flapper dresses were even worn strapless. The dresses were straight and loose, ending just above the knees. Silk or rayon stockings were held up by garters. Some women even wrapped cloth around their chests to gain a more boyish and slim figure.

Now the style Now Depending on your body type, you can take the Flapper look any way you like. For a curvier figure, take on Katy Perry’s flapperinspired look , being more fitted on the top and flowing on the bottom. For a less curvy figure, completely take on the flapper style with the signature drop waist and a loose fit. In any case, some detailing with lace or sequins can’t hurt!

Makeup from the
1920s During the early twenties cream or ivory colored face powder was used by most women. Later in the middle of the twenties a powder corresponding to the nature hue of skin came in fashion.
Lips were colored in deep red, deep brownish reds, plum and orange. Later at the end of the twenties colors like rose, raspberry and medium red were the new trend. Usually eyes were kept quite dark. To get this effect the whole eye was edged with a black eyeliner and then the margins blured easily. The eyelid shadow was often 3 done in a dark gray.

hairstyles f the 192 s with a 2 12 twist
Finger waves could effortlessly transform the Bob from a harsh, straight hairstyle to a softer, more feminine one.
The Dutch Boy was quite closely related to the Bob in that they were both cut the same way, however the Dutch Boy was much flatter and very sleek. This is the most iconic hairstyle from the 1920s.
A typical hairstyle during the 1920s was the Bob. Women had their hair cut short, normally at ear length, with straight across bangs. The Bob could be styled with Finger Waves or be flattened and transformed into the Dutch Boy. Finger Wave at Home! Step 1: comb hair forward about one inch. Step 2: to keep the wave in place, hold comb flatly against your head.

Step 3: use your index and middle fingers to emphasize the wave by closing them on either side of the wave and by applying pressure to your head.
Step 4: turn the teeth of the comb toward your head and use a semi-circle motion to create a dip.

Hats
Beaded purses became all the rage amoung women.
Hats began the 1920’s with wide rims and ended the decade with virtually no rims at all. Due to the popular short haircut the close fitting cloche hat quickly became the most favored style. Woman would wear these hats emblished with feathers, flowers, and beads.
Due to the raised hemlines stockings became more of a focal accessorie. Designers introduced new colors and styles including different patterns and materials. Silk and rayon pastel stockings quickly became all the rage amoung women.
Women’s coats followed the same loose, low waist cut as the dresses.
Following the war many people were looking towards a better future. This additude reflected in the bright colors that emergedin women’s fashion during the 1920’s. The cloche hats would effect women’s posture; since the hats were pulled down over the womens’ eyes they needed to tilt their heads to see. In order to reduce shine while wearing rayon or silk stockings many women would powder their legs.

ing touches
During the 1920’s many designers began to experiment and introduce new patterns/colors.
In the1920’s women began putting makeup on in public and loading on the red lipstick!
Women contiued the beaded look onto their outfits using brooches and pins.
Jewlery and necklaces were inspired by the art deco movement with the feel of an Egyptian godess. The jewlery pieces worn then are today seen as “costume” jewlery. Many of the lower class women could not afford the flamboyant pieces of jewlery so they would make their own. Headdresses became popular amoung women in the 20’s. They were usually adorned with feathers and beads. These extragavent hairdresses were most commonly worn by flappers.
