Have you heard of the latest movie in town which stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan?
It's The Great Gatsby!

It brings back the heat of the 1920's fashion back again! The movie, adapted from the novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, was set in the year 1922. It tells us the story, narrated by a Wall Street worker about the mysterious secret & identity of his neighbour. All he know is his name....Gatsby. Jay Gatsby.

Well, I leave the rest of the story for you to find out at the theatres. ;O)

Here are some photos of the book, characters and fashion in the 20's that I have picked from here and there on the internet. In those times, modern girls in the city used to cut their hair short. "Bob" hairstyle they called it. And that's the start of girls wearing short skirts too. No more heavy and huge-floor-sweeping-gowns like those you saw in "Titanic".

The Author, Mr. F. Scott Fitzgerald
