Despite being a period of economic struggle, 1930s clothing<\/a> was an era of revolutionary style thanks to advancements in clothing production, the popularity of Hollywood cinema as well as the increased resourcefulness of daywear fashion because of the Great Depression.<\/p>\n

Advancements in technology helped to popularize zippers as fasteners, fitted bras with cups and the bias cut method, a process of cutting material at a 45 degree angle so that it clung to the body.<\/p>\n

The Great Depression’s hold over the era (it began with the stock market crash in ’29 and ended at the start of World War<\/a> II in ’41) made clothing wearable from morning to night more desirable because women could no longer afford to invest in multiple outfits as worn throughout the day.<\/p>\n

It’s also important to note that the golden era of theater began in the ’30s and captivated the country because it was such a voyeuristic experience of the glitz, glam and gold that the average American couldn’t afford.<\/p>\n

Perfume use in 1930s Hollywood was integral to the glamor and sophistication of the film industry. Movie stars and other celebrities often use expensive and luxurious fragrances to enhance their image and create a sense of allure and mystery. Many popular perfumes were rich and heavy during this time, often containing floral and musky notes. Some of the most popular fragrances included Chanel No. 5, Joy by Jean Patou, and Shalimar by Guerlain. These perfumes were often associated with the upper class and were used to create a sense of exclusivity and elegance.
\nWhile classic fragrances are still popular, perfume used by Hollywood celebrities<\/a> today has evolved to reflect a more diverse and inclusive culture with modern and unisex scents like Club De Nuit Intense cologne, CK One, and anything from Jo Malone.<\/p>\n

Designs worn by Hollywood starlets (Greta Garbo, Jean Harlow, Marlene Dietrich to name a few) on the silver screen became some of the most copied styles in ready-to-wear fashion.<\/p>\n
