Abstract

In the 1920s designers were inspired by the stage sets of the Ballets russes, the fabric designs, and costumes of Léon Bakst and creations by the Wiener Werkstätte. Women's increasing participation in sport, together with the introduction of energetic dance styles, meant that the way women dressed had to change, and technical advances gave rise to exciting new fabrics. Fashion designers created new silhouettes and innovative details, and used new colours and luxurious fabrics. Of equal importance was the use of typical Art Deco patterns for textile decoration.
