As an art deco advisor, I always keep an eye out for anything, and everything deco for my clients. The last few days, I’ve been thrilled to see that a number of European designers are dazzling their audiences with inspirations from that long gone, glamorous era – Art Deco from the roaring twenties. From flapper dresses, cut loose through the waist and falling into hems that fluttered with plissé layers, or as a border of slashed pleats, or ones that swished with silk fringing. Coming from an Italian designer who is well known for her accessories, this deco collection with its bold prints, leaves no room for the “extras”. And that’s not a bad thing.
