| Fashion Flare Magazine |
Fashion Flare Magazine has long been associated with uncompromising style and sophistication, and this guide to recreating the sassy, controversial styles of the '20s and '30s offers a glimpse back at the hairstyles of this era. The instructions needed to replicate these fashions on the modern woman-from the controversial bob of the Roaring Twenties flapper to the luxurious finger waves of Hollywood's early screen stars-are provided, and the techniques behind Marcel and water waves, the simple bob, and Eton and shingle cuts are also included.
Hundreds of vintage illustrations, photographs, step-by-step instructions, and diagrams take readers through the history of the hairstyles that laid the groundwork of style for the modern
woman. Do you want to look wonderful while not looking like everybody else? Do you like to have what nobody else can have? If you say "yes", here's a Magazine for you. Fashion flare magazine takes the mystery out of buying and wearing decades-old-clothing. This is a magazine that is beautifully illustrated with more than 100 colored photographs showing 36 women (and one man) from various fields modeling classic vintage pieces.
The authors take a fresh point-of-view by showing real people wearing these vintage classics as pieces of three different outfits---casual, career and cocktails. Yet, none of these real models look like they just stepped-out of the silent movies. These savvy shoppers have put together looks that slide vintage pieces right into existing wardrobes. "They look as wearable as the day they were made," . And, they certainly create a truly individual style for each
collector. The text that goes with each layout is full of fashion history information. Why not? After all, Fashion
flare magazine is a leading expert in the field of vintage clothing.
It's easy to see why this trend to vintage clothes is hot. Once upon a time, most clothes were sewn at home. Now and ever after, home-sewing patterns will provide the best blueprint to a time when suddenly everyone could dress like the models in magazines. The most popular 1940s styles-from couture to everyday workclothes, ensembles, sportswear, lingerie, and evening dresses, plus toys, needlework and gifts-are presented here in 550 color photographs of pattern envelopes from companies like Advance, Butterick, Hollywood, McCall, Simplicity, Vogue, and others. For the home seamstress, this will be a trip back in time. For artists, costume designers, and collectors it's an invaluable magazine.
The text outlines the beginnings of the huge pattern industry, its evolution and impact on fashion. A wide array of pattern-related items is presented including publications and advertising, display dolls, tools, and various forms of packaging. The pattern envelope illustrations are wonderful period drawings of '40s fashions. A refreshing approach and an important first book on this growing field of interest. Fashion
flare magazine not only includes costumes found in the earlier books, but includes detailed close-ups of those costumes and many new costumes. Each issue contains large beautiful photos, how-to articles by top photographers, quick tips and reviews of new equipment.
