Goddess : The moon hangs low in the mist, full and expectant, a glowing brilliance claiming the sky’s canvas for itself. Its light gently falls into her eyes as she walks across the veranda, the hem of her sweeping silk gown spilling around her feet like a waterfall of liquid light. The elegance of her silken silhouette steals glances from inside the ball room, captivated and enchanted faces looking out, their breath momentarily captured, stilled by her beauty in the moonlight. Soft music floats out into the dusk-filled air, encircling her as she turns to lean on the railing, her liquid dress moving with her like a skin, ivory, like a soft white dove, her form etched in iconic 1930s shaping. The curvaceous bodice, defined in subtle fluid elegance, down, smoothly, to her hour glass waist, and from there, falling in deep soft folds of liquid silk satin, creating movement, like music all around her, skimming her body, down over her hips, an epitome of glamour, the vampish beauty of the silver screen, like Jean Harlow illuminated in the spotlight of the moon. She turns to look out into the quieting night, revealing the full sweep of the dress’s back, tapered in at the waist with a gentle sash, and with cascades of silk falling to form the skirt, ivory white, the colour of Arum lillies. A touch of Vionnet and her classically draped and bias cut designs lives in this dress, along with the grace and romance of 1930s Hollywood, all the places where dreams meets inspiration.

Exquisitely Beautiful Goddess xxx. STYLING: 1930s Fashion Revival. And Kate Mosss 1930s Inspired Gatsby Wedding. There are key eras of the 20th Century whose fashion we look back on and long for the 1930s is undeniably one of them; and thanks to evocative TV shows and fabulous period drama films, the fashion of the 20s and 30s is having a huge revival, and vintage pieces are being sought after like never before.. And never was there a decade more in sync with cinema than the 1930s just think of Jean Harlow, for example, who so often wore white silk and satin gowns on screen, and which gave her a luminous quality which many a bride wanted to emulate… And think of Rita Hayworth in Gilda wearing THAT beyond sensual long black dress… Or Ginger Rogers dancing with Fred Astaire in so many exquisite 1930s ballgowns. The evening gowns of the 30s era were imitations of the glamorous evening dresses worn by Hollywood movie stars and were designed to reflect the elegance, romance and glamour of the age, in everything from the drape of the fabric, to the Art Deco inspired beading, lace and jewel embellishments. For most fashionable 1930’s society women, a long, sleek appearance was very much desired and a natural, elegant silhouette became the fashion with accents on the bias cutting and draping and fluting of the gown’s fabric. Dresses were often made of slipper satins, in silk especially, or in fluid rayon and the fabrics and designs mirrored the cut and movement of the dresses worn by actresses and dancers such as Ginger Rogers, who were adored by thousands of movie goers. Very many couturiers acknowledged the impact the movies had on their designs, one stating. “We, the couturiers, can no longer live without the cinema any more than the cinema can live without us”. In the late 30s, emphasis was moving to the back, and backless or deeply buttoned gowns became all the rage. As in the 20s, close fitting cloche cap headpieces were very much in fashion, and through the 30s they became more sophisticated and sleek, hugging the head and matching the sleek lines of the silk bias silhouette. Moving to a modern day celebrity, when Kate Moss got married, the fashion icon and supermodel took inspiration from the 1930s and The Great Gatsby to create a wedding so glamorous, elegant and romantic it has influenced thousands of brides to turn to the roaring twenties and thirties for inspiration.. The model showed off her 30s inspired theme in a Galliano gown, with a sheer slip dress, bias cut in silk, with a bodice detailed with a sheer overlay embroidered with gold sequins while the skirt was an intricate web of gold beading, embroidery and rhinestones. Kate perfected the look with a 1920s inspired lace cap veil, embroidered with flowers, beautiful bridesmaids dressed in flowing white gowns and her husband, dressed in a pale blue suit. Brides to be and the fashion world alike, waited in baited breath for this glamorous union, and it certainly didn’t disappoint and ever since, Kates 30s inspired nuptials have sparked a vintage wedding frenzy for 20s/30s Great Gatsby inspired weddings and wedding dresses.. Think of Pippa Middleton in THAT beautiful sheath of a dress… Think of Jean Harlow in all her sleek glamour… Think of Marilyn Monroe, the platinum blonde in platinum silk… Think of Rita Hayworth as the femme fatale Gilda in that sensual black dress..
