When World War One ended in 1918, people were obviously happy. So happy in fact that their collective euphoria ultimately influenced the fashion of the time. The era came to be defined by the emergence of vintage fashion, and as you can see from these pictures, it still looks awesome over 90 years later.

The fashion aesthetics of the 1920s were grounded in women’s fight for greater freedoms. One of the major aspects where women sought to enjoy more autonomy was in the way they dressed. This led to the emergence of loose flapper dresses and more androgynous-style clothing. The fashion era was characterized by light and airy styles that combined convenience and comfort with liberation. As with every defining moment in fashion history, there were key people who made it possible.
