Great Gatsby: Art Deco Glam

The trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby starting Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio was just released this week. Now, a 7-month wait until it opens. Jeepers creepers.

We already know we’ll be seeing it, because we can’t stop staring at the costumes—all that classic glamour and flapper-chic. We also couldn’t stop wishing this movie had been out back during high school American literature class.

The trailer got us thinking: What would we wear to a Great Gatsby party? We did a little online window shopping and found a handful of Art Deco- and Roaring Twenties-inspired pieces for putting on the Ritz. We’re sure Daisy and Gatsby would think these are the bee’s knees.

Don’t know about the clothes, but I would certainly choose a few of Kenneth Jay Lane’s jewelry for a memorable look!

Everything about this is fabulous! I can not wait to attend an Art Deco Gatsby party. I know that I will be able to find a “flapper chic” head to toe look at my favorite store. :) Nordstrom never disappoints.

PS – This is a perfect theme for my son’s Frat – he was just elected Social Director.
