THE ROARING 20’s Looking back to the era known best as “The Roaring 20’s”, there are similarities of events and maybe it was a time not too different from this decade before us. We are still coping and learning to live with COVID 19, wearing masks is commonplace. The state of unrest that we are suffering in that has many people in protest. As we go through the difficulties of the time, we are learning and growing in ways we might never have. In the 1920s, the Great War was put behind the people thanks to the Armistice and mass production was forging a way for enormous growth and opportunity for prosperity. In retrospect to the masks we wear now, the 1918 Flu Pandemic still had many people in the affected areas wearing white surgical masks to protect themselves leading up to the 20s. It was also an era of great protest; The Women’s suffrage movement led the way to giving women more rights to vote in elections. The Prohibition caused an outcry of the American people as it put in place a nationwide constitutional ban on the production, importation, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages. This led directly to the rise of organized crime with names like Al Capone leading the fight to control the illegal sales and distribution of alcohol. The Bolshevik Revolution in 1918 created an ideology in America for pro-communist support also referred to as the “Red Scare” Many strikes and protests were common place due to these events. Outside of the negative aspects, there are much more positive events and influencers of the 20s that helped create the change in the world we live in today. Influential writers like Ernest Hemingway, J. Scott Fitzgerald created literary works that are required reading in most schools. Artists such as Pablo Picasso changed the way we looked at art. Fashion designers like Coco Chanel shaped the haute couture and created fashion houses that still are designing today. The architectural design, “Art Deco” replaced the previous design style, “Art Nouveau” with bold lines that still resonate and is appreciated in our modern times. This is just a small look at the people and events. I f you do some research, you might be surprised at the people and companies that were a part of the decade that are still around in our current times. EGYPTIAN INFLUENCE Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel was a French fashion designer and businesswoman. The founder and namesake of the Chanel brand, she was credited in the post-World War I era with liberating women from the constraints of the “corseted silhouette” and popularizing a sporty, casual chic as the feminine standard of style. A prolific fashion creator, Chanel extended her influence beyond couture clothing, realizing her design aesthetic in jewelery, handbags, and fragrance. Her signature scent, Chanel No. 5, has become an iconic product. She is the only fashion designer listed on Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century. Chanel herself designed her famed interlocked-CC monogram, which has been in use teenlook | fall edition since the 1920s. COCO CHANEL 74 Howard Carter discovered King Tuts’ Tomb in 1922 which led to the Egyptian fashion inspiration through this decade. This ‘find’ was to become a ‘movement’ within the world or art, fashion, and architecture as the images of the artifacts swept the world. Walk like an Egyptian! MARY PICKFORD Gladys Louise Smith, known professionally as Mary Pickford, was a Canadian-American film actress and producer with a career that spanned five decades. A pioneer in the American film industry, she co-founded Pickford Fairbanks Studios and United Artists, and was one of the 36 founders of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
