If there is one era of which I find the most appealing in fashion, jewelry, interiors and accessories, it is the 1920-1930's. I like the lines of the Deco furniture, the angles in the Cubist paintings, the softness in the silk charmeuse and marabou, the draping rhinestones and hair's soft waves, the sharp red nails and crystal whiskey decanters. There isn't much that I don't find eternally glamorous about this age. So this will be the first of many posts on this generation.
