1920s Fashion – No Fringe

It's historically inaccurate to assume that every dress for evening had fringe. In perusing old photographs online, there are a few here and there but most of the photographs that exist today show women wearing classic 20s fashions without fringe.

Dropped waists became popular and were evident from street clothes to evening dresses. The new woman or flapper was starkly different from the women of the past. She was carefree and more independent, preferring clothing that was easy to move in. The term "flapper" wasn't exclusively used to describe women who danced daringly to jazz music but to describe this woman of the 20s as she flapped her new wings to embark upon a new era.

1920s urban socialites

Let's not forget that the iconic designer of the 1920s was Coco Channel. Among her contributions to the fashion world was the invention of The Little Black Dress.

Some of Miss Patches before she was excommunicated from her clowder of Nekomantas. She was much more rounder; a lot more body fat from good eating, good drinking and good living. It kinda strongly expresses what happens when a monster is excommunicated and black balled.

Lejaren Hiller, Iconic Pulp Cover: Absinthe, for Flynn's Weekly Detective Fiction Magazine, 1928.

About

On offer is a remarkable published pulp cover painting by Lejaren Hiller (American, 1880-1969), titled Absinthe, for Flynn's Weekly Detective Fiction Magazine - April 21, 1928. Between 1924 and 1939, the artist created hundreds of covers for this long running title, and this is among the most captivating. The image showcases an up-to-the-minute smoking flapper girl feeling strangely fine as the hallucinogenic effects of the bottle of absinthe she has just consumed wash over her body, soul and mind. To further the hedonistic mood, smoke plumes seductively drift off into the cafe where she is seated. The setting evokes the fast-living expatriate Americans who took to Paris after World War I, escaping prohibition and their own demons. We found an interesting visual from the Elspeth Brown book The Corporate Eye, which examines photography as a mass media technology and its influence on the progressive age in American culture. It shows Lejaren Hiller's proof photograph of the model as used to create this now iconic pulp cover. That image is seen below. It is possible that a copy of this photograph was mounted to the illustration board as a guide to Hiller's painting, as he often explored such mixed media methods in his work. Painting is French matted and housed in an antique period fine frame under glass. (x)
