1920's

[loukr]

I'm creating a fashion sketchbook on 1920's day wear and sports wear. has anybody got any idea what inspired the designers? from the art movements of art deco and cubism to textile designers of the time. I've been looking for hours now and haven't found a decent amount of research. If anybody could help with some ideas it would be greatly appreciated. Lou x
