Hello!
Today I went for a more of a reminiscent of the louder colored "art Deco" clothing look.
My colors are bright and loud which the patterns are vast and many being utilized.
Why do I choose to refer to it as reminiscent of the louder colored "art Deco" clothing look?
Well, the answer is simple....
In comparison to Art Deco Art that was originally developed in the 1920's with a revival (return) in the 1960's, the patterns in the clothing from the 1920's are similar.
Looking at the pasterns within this cute little dress (top & Skirt) puts me in the mind of Art Deco which is how I came to dub it as reminiscent of the louder colored "art Deco" clothing look.
IF you Google "Art Deco" you will find the description showing that the designs are marked chiefly by geometric motifs, curvilinear forms, sharply defined outlines, often bold colors, and the use of synthetic materials, and in the original art plastics.
The style in buildings, stairs, store faces as well as business faces (Clubs, etc) was highly popular in the 1920's and it popped up again in the 1960's.
Art Deco, also called style modern, movement in the decorative arts and architecture that originated in the 1920s and developed into a major style in western Europe and the United States during the 1930s.
No, Art Deco was not originally created in the 1960's like some would believe or think, it was only brought back to life in the 1960's but was highly fashionable in it's originating era of the 1920's (You can Google it to clarify accuracy if you doubt this information and you will be surprised).
Art Nouveau and Art Deco are NOT the same things (I'd briefly studied Art). They are two different styles.
Art Nouveau was found in some amazing European churches and can still be found in churches today (It was found else where too but you will likely remember Art Nouveau within churches quicker) this style derived in 1890 and lasted until about 1910.
So, it was a very popular culture in Art.
The difference between Art Deco and Art Nouveau is actually decorative details.
Art Deco is Sleeker.
And there is actually history within each Artistic design.
World events preempted the birth of each one.
Each one being a reaction to it's period. What does this mean?
Both the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements emerged as reactions to major world events. The Industrial Revolution and World War I, respectively.
While both embraced modernist elements, they're easy to distinguish if you know what to look for.
OK so for the key characteristics I had to look these up to quote them correctly so I'll copy and paste each one so you can distinguish the difference more easily within your minds eye.
Since this is focusing mostly on the Art Deco I'll post it before Art Nouveau (thought Art Nouveau's birth was decades before Art Deco's)
Art Deco [from the wiki], on the other hand, emerged after World War I. In fact, the deprivations of the Great War years gave way to a whole new opulence and extravagance that defined the Jazz Age and the Art Deco aesthetic. The movement, prevalent from the 1920s until roughly the start of World War II, took its name from the 1925 Exposition Internationales des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (say that ten times, fast), held in France and is characterized by streamlined and geometric shapes. It also utilized modern materials like chrome, stainless steel, and inlaid wood. If Art Deco dabbled with natural materials, they tended to be graphic or textural, like zebra skin or jagged fern leaves. As a result, Deco featured bold shapes like sunbursts and zigzags and broad curves. In fact, if you check out the spire of the Chrysler Building, the hotels of Miami's South Beach, or the "coffin nose" oif a 1935 Cord Model 810, you'll be staring at the very definition of Deco.
And now.....
Art Nouveau [from the wiki] (it means "new art," but you probably figured that out) reigned from roughly 1880 until just before World War I. Art Nouveau embraced Europe's new industrial aesthetic rather than challenging it. It features naturalistic but stylized forms, often combined with more geometric shapes, particularly arcs, parabolas, and semicircles (think of the paintings of Gustav Klimt, or the arches of the Eiffel Tower). The movement brought in natural forms that had often been overlooked like insects, weeds, even mythical faeries, as evidenced by Lalique jewelry or Tiffany lamps. The black and gold Kate Winslet doffs in the erotic portrait session scene in Titanic is quintessentially Art Nouveau.
Laughing, now that I actually put a little of my art training to use and really for no real good reason other than Second Life for the purpose of fashion.
I'll quit babbling about it and piece the styling together for you further in my avatars details or this could get into a lecture and very windy, which no one wants....Unless your intrigued by art.
So, without any further ado here is my personal styling of this look that preempted the artistic pieces being mentioned in the first place.
It's unique how Fashion and Art can mirror one another at times.
