A Deco gold and pearl necklace layered over a shirt but under a tie. A gold chain extending from belt buckle to hip pocket. Driving gloves daintily slipped over the fingers. A mandatory draping of fur.
In Rachel Alexander’s shoot for Style Moda, aptly titled Anni Ruggenti (‘Roaring Twenties’), there’s no hint of modern minimalism. Pieces are layered, luxurious, accessorised; but fitting with the subplot of ’20s fashion as we see it now, it’s wearable and doesn’t epitomise the costume impression of what a flapper should be.
Particularly strong in the masculine elements and in the whimsical frocks, it’s inspiration on roaring twenties dressing for the colder months. And note the softly waved hair by Loris Rocchi and makeup – including blonde eyebrows – by Branislav Nikic: both suitable alternatives for the more obvious pin curls and pencil-thin brow lines.
