Based
on F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel and now directed by Baz Luhrmann in 3-D, The Great Gatsby, an eagerly awaited
film of the year is already talking the fashion world by storm, a
cinematic opulence that is all set to take us back to the Roaring
Twenties, the flappers and the Jazz Age .The trailers of the film - which stars
Leonardo Dicaprio, Isla Fisher, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire and a small role
by Amitabh Bachchan have already sparked lot of curiosity in 1920s
fashion and life style, a trend that is sweeping across the global fashion
world.
This May, drop-waist dresses, art deco motifs, cloche hat, extravagant beading, straight lines, flat chest silhouette, furs, feathers, lace, bob cut, diamond and pearl headpieces, bracelets, finger wave hairstyle & T-Bar shoes will come alive on silver screen, celebrating the very essence of the free spirited fashion era. The flamboyant gentlemen’s wardrobe will feature classic striped jacket, check waistcoats, bow-ties, dinner suits, flannel trousers, brogues, stylish walking cane and the signature pink suit.
Miuccia Prada was roped in to design the
women’s costumes while Luhrmann’s wife and two-time Oscar-winning costume designer
Catherine Martin collaborated with the famous Brooks
Brothers (yes the same Brooks Brothers who has numerous mentions in the
novel) to create gentlemen’s wardrobe.The iconic Tiffany & Co loaned the breathtaking
jewellery for the film.
