Art deco - refined, luxurious, and, perhaps, the most unusual retro style. It perfectly combines classical motifs, sharp bends, straight lines, simple and exotic fabrics. A feature of the Art Deco style is the combination of incompatible shapes and silhouettes.
History of style
This elite style originated in Europe in the early 20-ies. Paris was rapidly trying to prove that, after the First World War, it remains the capital of world fashion. They named this style in honor of the international exhibition, which took place in 1925. Pompous decorations and an abundance of decorative elements in clothes helped people to forget about the terrible war. Under the influence of cinematography, contrasts of black and white shades became popular. But also unusual for that time color shades burst into fashion: bright orange, lemon-yellow, juicy-blue, rich-green.
