A Trip to the 20s

A Trip to the 1920s

As many may know the 1920s is an era that I would like to live in for many reasons. First it presents economic stability and a great change after World War I.

Let’s get going and go to the “Roaring Twenties”

.

During these years fashion was renovated, technological advances were created and many more changes. However, there is always a dark side from it.

Fashion

The fashion for women drastically changed no more uncomfortable corsets but stylish new dresses made of silk and fine cotton. The perfect image for the 20s fashion is the beautiful Katherine Hepburn.

For men fashion was characterized by extremely high waisted jackets worn with belts. Trousers were also fashionable at that time

Also the most well-known perfume was created during the 20s Chanel No 5. It is said that every thirty seconds a bottle is sold

The Dark Side

Mr. Capone is enjoying his crimes all around Boston and is firing his guns round town killing innocent people. This is the ugly part of the 20s. He ruled the town and few brave men were the ones that tried to face him. Those few men ended with 50 bullets in their hearts or put him behind bars just for taxes evasion.

Technological advances

The population was happy as Mr. Ford manufactured his new cars in his industry. Eight new models were designed during the 20s and his cars were the cheapest ones and the best ones. By 1926 the industry became the biggest one in the world employing more than 200,000 people.

Setting

Mr. Crow: I was listening to some jazz, one of the preferred styles during the 20s. Yet the 20s are a transitional period between the First World War and the economic depression in 1929. We can infer that during this period the buildings remained the same as previously but some expensive luxuries became available to medium classed people like cars and clothes.
