The Roaring Twenties

If I could choose to live in any period, it would be the 1920s. They were incredible. Oozing with class and sophistication, who wouldn't want to live in the time of Gatsby?

In anticipation for the film, I've been flicking through my big book of vogue covers and adore the fashion drawings of the time. Inspired by their beautiful outfits and 'chic' appearance, I thought I might try a few of my own...

So here is a peek into my sketchbook, a 20s inspired double page spread.
