All That Jazz S/S 07

[Kimkhuu]

January 25, 2007 – The influence of Louise Brooks—the actress whose iconic jet-black bob has recently inspired innumerable model copycats—extended below the shoulders on the spring runways. The sporty white togs at Anteprima and Chanel looked ready for the tennis court—grass, of course. Elsewhere, the focus was on after-dark: Swingy flapper frocks danced down the catwalks at Doo.Ri and Emanuel Ungaro, while Ralph Lauren layered shimmering, drop-waist dresses over sleeveless ribbed tees. Putting their own twist on the trend, Rag & Bone's Marcus Wainwright and David Neville adapted the natty, all-American style of novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald for gender-bending girl Gatsbys with their full-legged, baby-pink suit.

i couldn't help but be drawn to this thread, as All That Jazz is one of my favorite movies!

as far the jazz theme in fashion, i like the idea in general and i like veronique and giorgio's take on it (thanks for the pics, Kimkhuu!), but it overall it seems reminiscent of many of the flapper, drop-waisted dresses that were around a couple a few seasons ago. i would be interested to see if and how this would translate into a trend for the general public.

Thank you Kimkhuu, lovely pics!

I agree with dreamecho, I love this look but am surprised that style.com should bring this up now; twenties and thirties inspired dresses, beading, fringes, paneled cuts, slit sleeves, dropped waists, etc...and the dance-style shoes have been around for at least four years.

That said, I think that the hair styles have not been a trend until recently; head wraps, swingy bobs, cloches, etc.
(boo...I wanted to keep my dear Miss Lemmon hats to myself... )

Very nice. "Chicago" (where All That Jazz is from , i think?) was a huuuge inspiration to me the weeks after i saw it.

i love that bob, and love everyone i see who has gotten it, i wonder how mainstream it will become? it seems like it could be at every mall within the next few months. dying for a head wrap like armani prive, where to find one that doesn't cost a million dollars?
