The Manor DC
"The Great Roar" is a fashion and art event, and a night of exploration into an exuberant era.
Born from the sumptuous elegance of the Edwardian era, The Roaring 20's marked history with iconic images of personal expression.
Hyper-charged fashion and style were all the rage. Think Chanel’s streamlined column shape, Charles Worth’s luxurious beading, or Fortuny silk dresses; the functionality of shorter skirts and the powerful alluring lines of men’s suiting.The twenties had everything! The decade left us with youthful elegance, vice influenced trends, and rhythmic style.
The women truly explored personal style an expression with higher hemlines to due to the convenience women experienced during the previous war, in which hemlines fell above the ankle in an effort to conserve fabric for uniforms and supplies. The body was a slim long line with a swan like neck topped with a sharp yet effortless bob hair cut.
.
Men’s Fashion streamlined and peacocked at the same time. With bright new colors for day suits and skinny black tie Tuxedos for night. Gatsby-cool boy chic filled the stores and their expensive shiny cars filled the streets.
