1920s in Fashion | Flapper History
As the roaring 1920s dawned, the consumer boom of the post-war era brought many new freedoms and swelled the ranks of the middle class. The popularity of sports encouraged designers like Madeleine Vionnet, Jean Patou, and the ubiquitous Coco Chanel to discard the corsets of the past. The 1920s woman was slim, vivacious. Her skirts were rising. She cropped her hair, wore stockings, and makeup. And she is forever remembered as the iconic flapper.
