Ladies prepare to raid your grandmother’s closet because this spring,
the 40’s style is back. From tailored dresses to fabulous gowns, the 40’s are
back with its sharp looks.
Something has changed in
contemporary culture: the focus has shifted from the future to the past. This
is exemplified by the 1940s taking up a lot of space in today's cultural landscape.
The 40’s have slowly been reviving since 2010 and this year, retro is
officially back! One almost gets the
impression that the dedicated fans of the ‘40s are trying to bring back to life
an age that is long gone.
Fifteen years ago, the
Swinging Sixties were in style. Then came the 1980s and kitsch. Today women
decorate their homes with 1940s furniture.
The 1940s were a brilliant decade for
fashion. Hollywood's Golden Age stars dazzled in gorgeous gowns, while women
across the West embraced a more practical yet chic look. Here, we highlight the
