At the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia you can get a close up look at fashion from the 1920s. This new exhibit explores prohibition and the radical changes made to our Constitution from banning all liquor to repealing the act which laid the foundation for women’s rights.
It was a time for women to explore a new look from bobbing their hair to shortening their skirts. 
It was time to find freedom in fashion. It was fun and frivolous. It was rhinestones, sequins and lame. Hats, combs and feathers adorned the short haircuts and small items like face powder and lipstick were placed in small beaded purses. A girl had to be ready to run if the cops busted into a speakeasy so the less you carried the faster you could run.

The 1920’s made fashion less formal and more fun giving women more freedom not only in clothes but in their life. Today this feeling still prevails.
Check out the exhibit, American Spirits The Rise and the Fall of Prohibition especially check out the clothes. Here is a sneak preview of those amazing clothes.
