There is something riveting about that great gatsby coutre era! I read the two books my Grandmother Bessie May and her sister Blanche wrote about their youth during that era! It was so cool to see photos of them with their newly cropped hairdos and hats....they created such a scandal with those new-fangled fashions!
The Great War (W.W.1) had just ended, and Grandma lost her 2 year old and 20 year old brothers to the Spanish Influenza, so the 1920s must have been a welcome relief to all that horror! I can clearly see why folks went wild for parties and fashion in that era! Creating art couture is my own therapy against stress!

I had the pleasure of doing a historic runway show with the singer, actress and model Tressa Thomas. My couture collection represented the best of historic 20th Century Couture, with a strong emphasis on the Roaring Twenties with a touch of Vintage inspired couture. It was wild and wonderful! Great Gatsby Couture inspired by the age of liberation! Symbolic of Couture Living Freedom. That is why we use so much Roaring 20's styling in the j-na couture designs, it means something. ... The liberation from the ready-made mentality and its destructive footprint on our souls and planet, to a NEW ECO-Friendly custom mindset! That is couture living! | |
We feel that a wonderful way to wear 20's inspired or Vintage Couture in our modern fashion forward times is:

Did you enjoy the "Flower Power" era of the 60s? Or the crazy "Go-Go" boots and miniskirts from that time? Were you influenced by the 80's fashion? (My kids hate that decade!)
Then there was "Grunge" and Boho in the 90s......with fashion there is never a dull moment! Which of these decades helped define you? Couture and culture are so very much entwined.....do you have a favorite?
I adore combining historic time period fashions and various ethnic styles from this diverse planet we call home! I would love to hear what you enjoy!
