The 1920s were a celebration of freedom after the sadness of World War I. Women gained new rights, began working, and wanted clothes that allowed them to move and live freely. This was the birth of the flapper.
Short bob hairstyles, straight silhouettes, dropped waistlines, and layers of beads replaced the tight corsets of the past. Sequins, feathers, and silk dresses sparkled under jazz club lights. Designers like Coco Chanel introduced relaxed yet elegant fashion — jersey fabrics, short skirts, and simple black dresses.
It wasn’t just about style — it was a social revolution. Fashion reflected women’s independence, modern lifestyles, and a growing youth culture that would shape the rest of the century.
