The Roaring Twenties were exciting years for fashion - in the wake of the First World War, staid traditions and conservative mores were swept away in a rush of new, glamorous and risque styles that were often shocking to older generations.
It was the era of short skirts and snappy, wide-lapelled suits, of new hair-styles and two-tone spats, and style became a highly personal statement.
The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald's timeless masterpiece, captured all this with unforgettable panache, the rare book that inescapably defines the era from which it sprang.
With a new film of the book released in 2013, starring Leonardo Dicaprio and Carey Mulligan, this book is the perfect illustrated guide to the lavish clothes of this most alluring and adventurous of fashion decades.
