The road to independence

The twenties were the beginning of independence for many women around the world. And independence was the main idea of ​​almost all spheres of life from politics to fashion. Successful woman should not have to depend on any man or prejudices, or even from the hairdresser or a maid, helping to lace corset.

We can not say that this desire for independence was increasingly forced. During the war and postwar years, the woman had to survive itself, without anyone's support.

Flat chest, narrow hips, waistline down, bright make-up and nail - this is the image representative of the time. She could not be rich, but it had to be successful and self-sufficient.

Cigarette pants and ceased to be the prerogative of men only - women can now be had by all. Wearing willing to pay a little coquettish hat woman was dancing fiery youth dances. The intoxicating feeling of rebellion and freedom literally hung in the air in those days.

Twenties of the last century was a time of high speeds, and it concerned the area of ​​women's fashion: fast zipper, rapid shortening of the hair and skirts.

Trendy hairstyles - "bean"

The hair in the bob did not require complex pilings, but it was just one of the factors why the bean on the straight and curly hair Hair: structure, characteristics of growth and development   It has become so popular. Mow long hair under a penalty - meant to challenge the world. Sometimes from the new haircuts daughters fell into a swoon, not only conservative mother and the girls. Nevertheless, hundreds of girls, girls and women go to the salon to make a ostromodnye bean. This haircut is inevitably focuses on the face, and girls adorn themselves with the help of new items - makeup. The extensive use includes lipstick, mascara and blush.

Instead of lush lace, embroidery, gold and silver have been used in the decoration of simple parts: a contrasting color buttons, stitching, fringe, crisp folds reserved bows and ribbons.

Do women have lost their aristocratic and refinement? Definitely not. Wearing jersey so it did not look of underwear, called for a special elegance and taste. It was just a different time: the machine instead of the crews, the lightning instead of lacing. Schick then just moved to a new level. He ceased to belong to the aristocracy and the rich, could now look fashionable so-called middle class.

Personal dressmaker gave way to catalogs and specialty stores. Now, to get new fashionable dress was so simple, thanks to the development of mass production and light industry.
