The 1920s was an extremely unique era in American history. It was a time of many societal changes, including a new age of progressive women and the infamous Prohibition. While this flashy decade has always been fascinating, pop culture has recently become even more obsessed with it. The 1920s era has influenced all aspects of pop culture, but has especially been prominent in fashion design. As a result, costume designers have also picked up on the trend, fueling the increasing demand for 1920s-inspired costumes. Since the beginning of the year, the fashion scene already began to see high-end designer creations that feature 1920s-inspired elements and themes. Feathers, detailed beading, fringe, and sequins are all stylistic features that were prominent during the 1920s. These same features are now depicted throughout all areas of women’s fashion, from hats to blouses to dresses to shoes. This noticeable trend has also integrated into costume designs. For 2013, many manufacturers released new lines of 1920s flapper and gangster costumes. While some retained more traditional designs, many incorporated more modern cuts and fabrics in an attempt to replicate the costumes used in "The Great Gatsby." With the popularity of the “The Great Gatsby” film, along with hit shows like 1920s-based "Boardwalk Empire," it is expected that 1920s themed costumes will be quite popular this year. Although it’s still early in the Halloween season, popular costumes website, PureCostumes.com, is already seeing an increase in the demand for flapper costumes. As Hollywood continues to pave the path for pop culture trends, Pure Costumes will make it a vital part of its business to keep its finger on the pulse of current events and cater to market demands.
