      THE 1920's FLAPPER

      The word flapper, describing a fashion and lifestyle from the 1920s generally refers to a young woman, who is seen as a young bird flapping its wings while learning to fly. The flapper movement has roots in the years leading up to 1920 and it's influence on fashion was to be seen beyond 1930, however the roaring 20s or 1920s are considered to be the era most associated with the flapper. As a consequence of style overlaps between time periods, whilst most of the photographs in this book date back to the 1920s some pictures of appropriate style date from the very early 1930s.

      Some stories indicate that the word flapper refers to a young woman who wore her galoshes undone and let them flap in the rain as they walked.

      During the First World War women took over a lot of the job positions previously filled by men who had left to go in to the army. With so many men at war, many women were forced to be strong. They were left to hold down the fort at home. With added everyday responsibilities came a natural need for independence.

      Another reason for the increase in numbers of working women in the 1920s was due to the increasing numbers of widowed and unmarried women, who were forced to work for a living. A lot of men lost their lives on the battlefield and in the trenches in wartime and as a result there was a shortage of men in peacetime.

      After the war was over, a lot of independent women wanted to celebrate their independence and enjoy themselves. Society as a whole wanted to celebrate life, free from the tyrannies and restrictions of war.

      Parties, jazz music and dancing were an obsession for the bright young things of the day. Women began smoking in public and wearing heavy makeup. Lipstick was available in metal tubes which made it accessible and easier to apply than in previous eras. The bee stung lip also known as the cupid's bow or rosebud was all the rage. Lipstick was worn bright and applied in a way that emphasized the little arches in the centre of the top lip. Women wore heavy kohl eyeliner, which probably melted around their eyes as they danced the Charleston.

      Women began carrying powder compacts, eyeshadow and lipsticks in intricately beaded handbags that matched their beaded evening dresses. Handmade chinese silk bags were popular and could be made at home. The new fabric rayon was also utilized as a cheaper substitute to silk.
