Even the most stylishly elite of celebrities often gush about their love of vintage clothing; the Olsen sisters have grazed the covetable cover of Vogue many times and have fully established themselves amongst the best dressed within Hollywood, whilst their love of vintage clothing remains second to none. Mary-Kate's engagement ring is even vintage Cartier, with an eye-watering price tag of $81,000.
Mary-Kate and Ashley both play with proportions in regard to their style; despite being famously petite, they wear a lot of oversized clothes whilst maintaining a sense of relaxed and timeless elegance. Ashley Olsen loves the 1920/30s so much, that she famously lent her collection of 1920/30s dresses to Baz Lurhmann for his adaptation of The Great Gatsby in 2012. Coincidently, the film adaptation of Scott. F. Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" saw a style epidemic of the 1920's, with the high-street going wild for heavily embellished dresses reminiscent of the flappers decade, however the 1920's had been a trend that the Olsen sisters had been championing for years.
Several years ago, the press dubbed the Olsen's 1920s infused style as "trashcan chic", mocking it as a trend which would be difficult to follow for those of us who do not live the red carpet lifestyle, yet the Gatsby revolution turned this on its head. The loose fitting silhouettes give a subtle glimpse of sexuality through the fluid movement of soft silks embellished by sequins which shimmer in even the dimmest of light. Providing that 1920's vintage pieces are styled in the right way, they can add dimension and character to a modern outfit, blending the old romanticism of the decade with the more minimalistic look which is in fashion today.
This 1920's inspired silk blouse is available from our Etsy store, and is the only one available and therefore we only have the one size (M). The detailing on this piece is simply stunning, with intricate beading added dimension which is complimented by the partially sheer and fluid-like material. Although it is only available in a size M, you needn't be put off if you are a smaller size; it can still be easily styled as an oversized piece in a similar style to that of the Olsen sisters, or even layered over an understated black outfit to transform a look. Elizabeth Olsen recently wore a kimono with similar detailing to a premiere and paired it with a bodycon, floor length dress - by wearing such a figure hugging piece underneath, the layering of this loose kimono was able to add character to her outfit and ensured that her style was the prime focus of the evening.
