An unmistakable symbol of the ‘Roaring Twenties’ is the rebellious flapper; her dress flowing wildly, her hair chopped and bobbed, her knees exposed; flappers were essentially a generation of young Western women in the 1920s who wore short skirts, bobbed their hair, listened to jazz, and flaunted their disdain for what was then considered acceptable behaviour.
Dandyism went transatlantic and film-starry in the 1920s and 1930s, and young men certainly knew how to wear a monocle, a tuxedo and a cape. As seen on this head, the dandy’s social, cultural, and sexual standing is the monocle.
Huge fun, and possibly unique throwbacks to the roaring twenties.
