Baz Luhrmann's newest masterpiece, The Great Gatsby
 comes out Christmas Day 2012. I am so excited! Remember the 1974 
version with Mia Farrow and Robert Redford? Sure, F. Scott Fitzgerald 
wrote a great novel, and Francis Ford Coppola helped to create a film 
masterpiece, however, I remember the first time I watched it in 10th 
grade (or was it 11th?) in one of my english classes and all I could 
focus on were the gorgeous clothes! 
Fast
 forward 38 years and the newest version is coming out in theaters. The 
'20's styled clothes are back in action. Ralph Lauren's spring 2012 
collection made a huge nod to the Gatsby time period and his fall 2012 
collection is no different... Fun Fact: Lauren designed the costumes for
 the 1974 film and the 2012 costumes are designed by Brooks Brothers. 
Ralph Lauren Fall 2012 looks via RalphLauren.com.
Each
 one of Ralph's pieces leans towards the style of the roaring '20's and 
even has an art deco twist. The gold gown on the top right is stunning 
and the folds/cut on the top half of the dress look like it would fit in
 at one of Gatsby's parties. 
Ralph isn't the only one reminiscing the 1920's. This cloche
 from Brooks Brothers looks like something Daisy would wear. For more 
information about the film and the costumes for the 2012 movie, check

 Have a fabulous day! 
Yours,
