It’s no secret that Kendra Scott jewelry is frequently inspired by beautiful vintage treasures. So when we saw that Art Deco and the “Roaring Twenties” heavily influenced the spring and fall runways, we were elated. There’s something so elegant and timeless about the 1920′s. It was an era filled with glamour, sparkle and shine, and that’s certainly something we can relate to here at Kendra Scott.
You already know that 20′s and 70′s-inspired fringe has swayed our hearts, but this year Art Deco influence goes beyond that. Romain de Tirtoff, better known as Erté, is considered the “Father of Art Deco” and his paintings (like the one pictured above) and fashion designs heavily impacted fashion, architecture and the overall culture of the time. We are so enthralled by the return to Erté’s Art Deco trend that we will debut a jaw-dropping, gorgeous Art Deco-inspired collection this holiday season. We are waiting with anticipation to share this beautiful line with you all, because what better way to celebrate the holidays than to be donned head-to-toe in 20′s inspired glamour? What’s even better is that the highly-anticipated movie, The Great Gatsby, staring Carey Mulligan as the iconic Daisy Buchanan and Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby will debut in December of 2012, so you can wear your 20′s-era ensemble to the premiere!
Find your favorite dress, make it be a drop waist and add sequin embellishments for that fabulous flapper look, like the dresses seen in the Ralph Lauren and Gucci SS 2012 collections. Add a headpiece, strong makeup, some gorgeous shoes, vintage curls and the deepest lipstick around to complete your vintage look. Whether you go all out in Art Deco attire, or accessorize with a few vintage-inspired pieces, you’re be sure to be a showstopper.
