\n\tWith the Dress for Success event only two months away and as the event\u2019s premium sponsor, we are excited to announce we have chosen the 1920\u2019s as our feature era for this year\u2019s 100 Years of Empowerment Catwalk Fashion Fundraiser.  Showcasing a carefully curated selection from the extraordinary 9,000 piece Charlotte Smith couture fashion collection, we believe the era fits well with Dress for Success\u2019 mission.  Their goal is to make a difference for disadvantaged women, to build confidence and optimise their potential to achieve self-sufficiency and financial independence. During the 1920\u2019s, women had a similar objective to meet. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Roaring Twenties was built upon the disadvantages of the First World War. It was an age of social and political change. Women took on male roles as most men had left to fight, and a countless number never returned home. The amount of working women had increased by 25%. Women were granted the right to vote and began to change the restrictive clothing types they had once worn. Aviation styles and comfortable clothing were in and corsets were out. This modern advancement in clothing styles was one of the biggest changes in women\u2019s fashion, thus far. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe 20\u2019s was a time for having fun, despite many conservative policies.  People listened to their vinyl records on gramophones and danced the new kinds of dances. Charlie Chaplin was one of the most famous performers and jazz music was at its peak. The advancement in technology and the introduction of the first affordable motor vehicle changed people\u2019s lives forever. Qantas, Australia\u2019s first airline was also established in 1920.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn July 28th<\/sup> 1923, The Sydney Harbour Bridge had begun construction. This was in an attempt to get the economy flowing again and this historic landmark is still the world\u2019s largest and tallest steel arch bridge.<\/p>\n

\n\tMany Australians and western civilizations introduced the new wave of living and forgot the old ways.<\/p>\n

\n\tStay tuned for further detail of our 1920\u2019s themed celebration in the coming weeks as we prepare to celebrate and re-live this era of empowerment and change.<\/p>\n
