Retro Looks In The Modern World: Speechless

As much as the modern fashion world looks forward it also continually looks back in time. Here we explore Retro Looks in the Modern World.

This week we go back to the 1920's silent film era with a knock off of the modern retro film The Artist. 

This is the Fall/Winter 2012 lookbook for Americana Manhasset featuring Karlie Kloss. I love the coat in the third one down. The 20's are going to be big this fall!! 

My View: The Artist

I went to see The Artist over the weekend. It is one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. Filmed in black and white, The Artist is a romantic comedy about a silent film star whose career goes down the drain when talkies become popular. Brilliantly, the movie itself is a silent movie complete with raised eyebrows, title cards, and amazing music. 

Of course the dashing late 1920's / early 1930's costumes are worth seeing this film alone. I now want to wear flapper dresses and take tap dance lessons! 

Have you seen it yet? What did you think?
