The 1930s

in the U. S. A.  :

the  decade of severe economic depression

which eclipsed the lives of all

 

the decade which the Star Spangled Banner

was approved as the national anthem and seemed

almost hymn to unite a nation

 

the decade during which Franklin Delano Roosevelt

won two of his history-making four terms as

President of the United States

 

 

the decade in which Jesse Owens

a Black American Olympiad

won four gold medals at the 1936 Summer Olympic Games, Berlin-

attended by Adolph Hitler, German Führer and head of the Nazi party

 

 

the decade during which Bonnie Parker

and her co-hort in crime, Clyde Champion Barrow

committed interstate crimes of burglary, kidnapping, murder.

Wanted, hunted and later killed by FBI agents (1934)-

the two were the stuff of which tales are told for generations.

…

Bonnie and Clyde

involved in a notorious crime spree

manhunted by FBI agents

eluded capture for two years

…

For autumn 2016,

fashion label Baartmans and Siegel

founded by design duo, Wouter and Amber

(graduates from London College of Fashion, 2010) –

showcased a collection which included ladies trouser suiting

with a definite ’30s Bonnie and Clyde-esque “wanted” by the

FBI (fashion briefed individual) edge!

…

It’s a style combination of

Bonnie’s fearless attitude and

Clyde’s tailored suits.

…

With the happy hysteria of the international fashion week season in full gear,

and its emphasis on fashion choices of next year s/s 2015 collections,

let’s take a moment to consider a style focus for the present:

trouser suiting for Fall  ’14.

 

…

I am a total trouser suiting enthusiast.

What’s not to love about about a sleek pulled together look,

which can be styled to ‘suit’ any intended dress aim:

constructed with matching jacket and trousers

deconstructed with coordinated pieces

ready for business in pumps or brogues or

a bit of fun in sneaker fashion.

…

Whatever the occasion or style fancy,

trouser suiting offers max versatility.

Glam it up or take it causal down.

The options are delightfully staggering!

The 1960s was a dynamic decade:

military intervention and failure

space exploration and success

new ideas and inventions

social unrest and strife

…

Elements of the decade’s enduring influences

remain far from exhaustive.
