Great article I found on the Retronaut website about high-end fashion in the 20s. The cost of  $346 in 1926 is equivalent to $4,414 today!! Clara Bow is the model here.
Prada 2012 Fall/Winter line
Prada has just unveiled photos and video of actors Willem Dafoe, Gary Oldman, Garrett Hedlund, Jamie Bell and Adrien Brody wearing their vintage/steampunk influenced fall/winter line. I think Gary Oldman just looks soooo dapper here! Lovely to see such nice lines back in mens clothing.

Michelle’s Etsy pics of the week: 1930s
As most of you know, my favourite era is the 1930s, so this week I have scoured Etsy for 30s items that I like and posted them here for you all. From gowns to shoes and accessories, from sewing patterns to homewares. Some of these items are from a few of my fav fellow Etsy sellers such as Top Tottie Vintage , eStitches , SIB Vintage and Raleigh Vintage. Enjoy!
