You know, I have to admit, as much as I’m looking forward to watching The Great Gatsby in theatre, I am even more interested in the 1920s-inspired fashion that will come from it.  I’ve seen a bit of celebrity fashion that has well and truly brought the 1920’s back; the most recent being Chris Pine […]
