The Roaring 20s

It always makes me sad when we get closer to the end of October, but at the same time it is super exiting because Halloween is on the last day of October. This year I decided to dress up as a flapper in the 20s which is one of my favorite areas of all time. One of my favorite fashion designers of all time is Coco Chanel, she was known as an independent woman who who was a huge fashion icon in the early 1920s. At this time in history, women looked for an escape to the style in fashion society expected them to follow. Channel, who was the door of opportunity for women that craved a difference in style, gave them a chance to appear more beautiful and at the same time separating them from the hoards of tradition. Women in the 1920s finally placed an important role in the life of politics, woman were finally given the opportunity to vote. The 1920s are always remembered as the roaring times, this was because people started moving into the cities and living less in farms. The nations total wealth doubled between the years 1920 through 1929, this economic growth brought Americans into a new consumer society. I guess you could say that Channel played a huge role in designing the modern woman: independent, sexy, intelligent, and unique. Still today, Channels legacy lives through the world of fashion, her purpose in fashion was to defend discriminated women who looked for freedom.
