The Lost Generation: Free People in the 1920s












Paris in the 1920's is always a time that has fascinated me. Thinking about being surrounded by writers, artists, bohemians is always something that has intrigued me. I love the writing of F. Scott Fitzgerald and thinking about going to parties dancing to Cole Porter. I also love Free People and getting their catalog in the mail is like Christmas morning. Each catalog is always uniquely different but still Free People. I just received the Holiday 2011 catalog today and I wanted to share some of my favorite photographs from the 1920s section. The catalog is Free People through the decades, the decades being the 1920s, 1950s, 1970s and present day. My favorite part was of course, the 1920s. I have been dreaming about these clothes, the way they are styled is so gorgeous, and the dreamy like effect on the photos adds to the whole aura. I am not the most technologically savvy person so my scans are not the best quality, but I think it adds to the dreamy/hazy atmosphere. I really should be studying but I much rather be doing something inspirational...

I have found some great behind the scenes photos from this shoot so I will do a follow up post!

Gosh I love these photos! Makes me want to go back to that time. If you like Paris in the 1920s and authors, and all that jazz, you should watch the movie Midnight in Paris. Its a Woody Allen movie so the directing is a little different, but its about a struggling writer in modern times who is visiting Paris with his fiance and her family. And at midnight he is transported to 1920s Paris and meets all these cool people, from the Fitzgerald to famous philosophers.
