Ever since we saw Kate Moss at Glastonbury we were predicting a return of 1920s elements. The flapper trend set in slowly but surely, and the Spring / Summer 2008 runway shows were there to push it along.
Loose-fitting dresses with embellishments like fringing and beading, particularly in vintage styles, will take over from the more mod minis and smocks of the past season. Drop-waists aren't a requirement in 2008, where waists are otherwise emphasised and revered, and the trend will populate into a variety of different fits and cuts.
Flapper fashion sport wearThough the Jazz Age is often thought of alongside parties, dancing and glamour, the sporty aspect will not be forgotten in 2008.
With Coco Chanel originally popularising the tan, the 1920s flapper was fit, healthy and sporty. Think Jordan Baker-esque golfing girls with golden skin and long shorts, or 1920s style tennis-chic.
Wear it with sophistication and flirtatiousness. In 2008, flapper fashion is the cat's pyjamas, darling!
