Trend: 1930's Inspiration

We're in our biggest economic crisis since The Great Depression. Designers, struggling to keep people shopping, are using this fact for inspiration. Hence the stores are filling with 1930's details: t-strap shoes, bias cutting, wide shoulders, boat necks, muted colors, tailored suits, and below-the-knee trumpet skirts.

My word verification is "nonjoy" ...is that newspeak for sadness? ;P

1930's details are so flattering. Plus they translate easily into work clothes. Love so much my senior collection focused on the 30's!

1930's instantly makes me think of Vionnet, and that translates to flowy grecian dresses...so hot for the next season.
