Posted on 25 July 2011

When it comes to real 100% female glamour, there’s only one decade that stands out – the 1940s. Think ice-cool, sophisticated Hollywood heroines. Think pencil-slim skirts, exquisite tailoring, frothy lace blouses, fitted jackets, sexy high heels, or laced boots! Think 100% classy and sassy!

1940s glamour

Vogue Aug 2011 coverFor Autumn/Winter 2011 top designers from Gucci and Donna Karan, to Jean Paul Gaultier and Miu Miu showcased inspired Collections of unashamed Forties glamour with key fashion points – the pencil skirt and tops with block shoulders.  Yes, hemlines have dipped to a strict and unbelievably feminine knee-length that is both demure, yet sexy.  “It’s all about the empowerment of women” says Donna Karan, commenting on her Collection in Vogue, “Their words of wisdom and their ability to be strong, without giving up their femininity”.  As it was in the 40s, Jewellery is very must-have, with pearls, Swarovski crystal and lashings of diamante setting the scene, alongside furs, gloves and shrugs.
The new Mrs Hince, better known as Kate Moss, demonstrates the look to perfection in August’s issue of Vogue.
