20's Girl

The Roaring 20's

Glamour, Fame and what else but bobs. Yes, I'm talking about the flamboyant flappers. Flappers was a nickname given to radical young women during the 1920s. Flappers wore short skirts, bobbed their hair, listened to jazz and flaunted their arrogance. Coco Chanel was the pioneer fashion designer of this new generation and introduced "boyish," and loose-fitting clothes that could suit a woman's everyday needs.

“They were smart and sophisticated, with an air of independence about them, and so casual about their looks and clothes and manners as to be almost slapdash. I don't know if I realized as soon as I began seeing them that they represented the wave of the future, but I do know I was drawn to them. I shared their restlessness, understood their determination to free themselves of the Victorian shackles of the pre-World War I era and find out for themselves what life was all about.”
