Why I love 1920s fashion 🎷 (Flappers, Art Deco, & The Great Gatsby) 

"I love to sing like I'm in the past" ahhah❤

That was a lovely one! I might be a bit late to the party, but honestly, your videos really cheer me up, and I hope you get the recognition you deserve. Thank you!

One of the reasons I enjoy the silent movies is to see what life was like during that time period. You get an unfiltered view of architecture, fashion, autos, entertainment, ect. Harold Llyod is one of my favorite comedians from that time. Their stunts were dangerous since they were the pioneers of movies and still figuring things out. Harold Lloyd lost a finger from a prop bomb. I did see a youtube video on how the 'hanging from the clock' scene was actually filmed. It was through the use of camera angles and there was net under him. I don't know how the flag pole scene was filmed. The view from that building is mostly the same today. I would imagine that the flappers were no different than the women today that push the boundaries of fashion. Few in numbers but having an influence in the direction of fashion. I wonder if a flapper of the 20's would embrace the mini-skirt, skinny jeans and short shorts of today or would that be even too revealing, even too much change for them? You did not talk about bathing suits but I also wonder what their thoughts would be on the modern bikini? From the male gaze standpoint, I don't care for the fashion of the 20's. The bob hair cut, the flat chest look and the straight lines dresses. are not what I find appealing but I know that they would have probably not cared what my thoughts were. I never thought about how the thinking of a current decade could influence the fashion and look of a movie from the past. I always thought the movie designers knew the accurate look and would adopt it. You have given me a different perspective on that now. I recently watched Babylon and the opening party scene made me wonder how accurate that was in a decade that was just starting to get a little more progressive. I am not sure if a party like that would even be feasible today. I could just imagine the condemnation of it leaking onto social media. You forgot one fashion icon of the 20's and 30's and that would be Anna May Wong. Though she was restricted in the movie rolls that were allowed for her, I have read that many women looked to her fashion. I have several of her movies in my physical media collection. She also did the European move for more freedom for a time. Though she did not come until 1930, Betty Bopp is an interesting reflection of the flapper. She is forever connected with the phrase Boop-Oop-a-Doop and that is the first place I ever heard it so it was fun to hear you opening with that phrase. I enjoy listening to your thoughts and research so keep'em coming.

This was a good video! I love 1920s songs too, something so calming about their voices because of the technology used.

22:53 Most recordings of the 1920s or before the invention of the vinyl LP 12" record in 1948 sounds muddy only through filtering and digital compression. In reality they're as clear as many modern recordings.

It happened one night

I would say that Downton Abbey does it the best with costumes and the way people talked at that time. The show makes me feel like I am watching people from the past and not modern people. I honestly love the dresses of the 1920s, I just dont think it would look good on me because I am super curvy, I suit the 1600-1800s body ideals more.
