When Kate Moss attended the Glastonbury Festival earlier in the year wearing delicately beaded capelets and boleros, we suggested that a 20s/30s vintage revival was on the way. It took a little longer to catch on than the PVC pants did, but the renaissance we predicted is finally here.
Kate continues to be the main driver of the trend, pushing it through her Topshop collection, and most recently starring in a photoshoot for December Vogue UK styled with hat tipped to the same era.

Kate Moss in December Vogue; Kate Moss for Topshop beaded flapper dresses and cape; The Great Gatsby; Coco Chanel.
The icons and influences:
- F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby
- Louise Brooks and Clara Bow
- Coco Chanel
- Jazz
The elements:
- Beading and fringing
- Drop-waists
- Kate Moss for Topshop
- Short bobs
- Flapper headbands
Trend status:
We expect the flapper revival to be in full force in 2008 - we're already seeing lots of beading, sequins and fringing in stores. The current take is less about a head-to-toe look and more about mixing it up - teaming a delicately beaded piece with this season's cropped leather jacket or patent accessories will give the flapper trend it's modern edge. After all; flappers were rebels in their day.

 There aren't too many alpha-females out there and, though she might deny it, Tania certainly exudes their qualities. A keen eye, a focused approach, and a wardrobe spanning three rooms have made her one of the savviest of dressers. But it's not all couture for Tania, earning her fashionista credentials she'll frequently be seen on the town in a one-off, vintage dress and a pair of Gucci heels. She says: Vintage will never go out of style We say: Does that include vintage 80s? |
