I'm a huge nerd when it comes to literature, especially my favorite book, The Great Gatsby. I was devastated when the release date was changed from Christmas 2012 to this summer, but I've been coping ever since Miuccia Prada released some of the sketches for the costumes in the film. I love the roaring twenties; the history, the style, the lifestyle of the wealthy during that time. It's all so intriguing to me, and like I said, Gatsby is my favorite book and such an American classic. The details of the style during that era are so beautiful, as showcased in the costumes by Prada below.
What do you think? Do you love the glitz and glam as much as I do? I just can't resist it. The flapper-esque style, the timeless glimmer. It's stunning to me. And I especially love the styling of the headband in the last sketch, I love wearing thin headbands this way and saw a lot very much like this at the Schiaparelli Prada exhibit at the Met last summer. Well, that's all for now. I'm gonna go back to counting down the days till the release of Gatsby.
