In the era of the 1920s to 1960s, the fashion world was dominated by feminine and masculine styles. The styles were influenced by the situation after World War I which occurred from 1914 to 1918. At that time, fashion prioritized clothing with semi-formal and formal styles. We can see traces of it on a 1920s dress.

According to a designer named Emily Chalmer, in the 1950s, most people cherished and enjoyed reminiscing about their own childhood. That is what inspires vintage-style fashion, so that people can feel nostalgic. The 1950s spirit inspires 1950s dresses that are very popular today.

Vintage means "old and of very high quality". Although close to the ancient and simple impression, vintage still has its own interesting impression even to wear today.

The splendor of the film industry at that time also inspired a number of fashion trends and models through the appearance of the stars. Starting from long waving skirts, clothing made from animal fur, to accessories in the form of ribbons. The use of zippers and nylon materials also became known at that time.

One of the famous designers who was greatly admired at that time was Salvatore Ferragamo, an Italian designer, who introduced platform shoes with super thick heels. Combined with a 1960s dress, they would be perfect!
