Bare Clara Curly Feather Flapper Headband Pinup Shoulder
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Roaring Twenties, with a young and vibrant American flapper in full costume. Dated circa 1920, the image exudes the carefree spirit and glamour of the era. The flapper, with her curly, bobbed hair styled in a fashionable wave, wears a stunning, form-fitting dress adorned with intricate beadwork and fringe. A headband made of feathers and pearls sits atop her head, adding to the allure of her look. The flapper's bare shoulders and arms, accentuated by the strapless dress, show off her youthful and carefree attitude. Her expressive eyes and playful smile convey a sense of mischief and excitement. The image is reminiscent of the iconic actress Clara Bow, who was a symbol of the flapper movement during this time. The 1920s were a decade of great social change, marked by the end of World War I, the rise of jazz music, and the emergence of a new cultural identity for women. The flapper represented a break from traditional gender roles, embracing a more modern and independent lifestyle. This photograph is a beautiful representation of that time, capturing the essence of the flapper spirit and the excitement of the era.
