1940s Inspiration

Fashion often has a strong sense of nostalgia. Designers constantly look to the past for inspiration, recreating classic styles with fresh and modern spins. It seems every decade has been reinterpreted in some way or another this year, so we thought we’d spend the next few weeks sharing ways to work each era into your sartorial routine. We’ll show you how to shop, primp, decorate, & entertain in the spirit of each decade (starting with the ’40s and ending with the ’90s)!

This week, we’re covering the 1940′s. Thanks to designers like Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton, the old Hollywood glamour of the ’40s is back — think: printed tea dresses, matte red lips, and pretty pin curls. Stay tuned all week for all things ’40s!
