In the 1930s, fashion returned women to waviness and softness of lines, bright colors of fabrics, light and natural patterns, and floral patterns. The woman became a woman again. And today, let's draw parallels between the fashion of the new 2017-2018 collection and that distant time. In our opinion, the collections of Alessandra Rich and Bottega Veneta were especially successful collections, in the sense of remembering the 30s.

In the Bottega Veneta collection 2017-2018, 30s style elements... A somewhat elongated skirt, widening of the shoulders, which, as in the 30s, was carried out due to frills, puffs, a special cut of pleated sleeves, wide flaps or collars. All these elements create a triangle in the silhouette, one of the vertices of which is directed downward, and the other two along the line of the shoulders.

Waist in all models is in place and is emphasized by a belt. Many outfits are decorated with decorative folds, puffs, tucks, undercuts, draperies. Some models have cut blouses with undercuts above the waist, while emphasizing the bust line in a feminine way.




The sleeve takes a special place in the models of the new Bottega Veneta collection. Here you will see a pagoda sleeve, a short kimono sleeve, sleeves with shoulder pads, "lanterns", raglan sleeve... Most of the sleeves are expanded with gathers at the shoulder or with a special cut. In the 1930s, the elbow sleeve was common, and this element is also present in many Bottega Veneta fall-winter 2017-2018 models. For winter time, the long sleeve is a matter of course. Most models have a closed bodice.



Evening gowns have deeper cutouts. Evening dresses of that time were often tailored obliquely and fitted the figure. They were made of silver and gold brocade, shiny silk or velor. Dresses were decorated with beads. There were also dresses with fluffy wide skirts. What about the Bottega Veneta models?



Coats and suits from this period were supplemented with flaps or pockets. And on these garments, the waist was clearly distinguished, for which the whole set was supplemented with a belt or a basque was provided in a cut. In the 1930s, a variety of capes were also fashionable, which not only replaced coats, but were also an integral addition to the ball gown. They were often adorned with beautiful fur.



The bags were mostly rectangular in shape. Shoes with a high, slightly beveled, column heel.



Tapered trousers came into fashion gradually, conquering the military uniform in the XIX - early XX centuries. Seriously fashionistas and fashionistas took up them at the end of the twentieth century. Be that as it may, breeches remind us a lot from the 30s, for example, that the countries of the whole planet began to arm themselves and prepare for a new war, and then breeches often flashed before everyone's eyes.

Today trousers-breeches are not only a beautiful outfit for sports, for a fashionista they can become an everyday outfit or even an evening one. It all depends on the fabric from which they will be sewn. And do not forget to choose them correctly according to your figure and combine with other elements of clothing.



Bottega Veneta's fall-winter 2017-2018 collection pays attention to the style elements of the 30s, not only in outfits and accessories, but also in hairstyles. In the 30s, carefully curled hair was in fashion, and, at the beginning of the decade, it was still rather short, then the hair was lengthened and they began to be fastened in the form of curls at the crown. This is the hairstyle that many Bottega Veneta models have.
