EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning sketch, created by the talented costume designer Mabel E. Johnston in 1929, showcases her vision for a Spanish-themed dress that would have graced the stage or screen during the Jazz Age in New York City. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was a time of excitement and innovation in the world of entertainment, with dance becoming a popular form of expression and entertainment. Mabel E. Johnston's design captures the essence of the Spanish theme with its intricate detailing and vibrant colors. The dress features a flowing, form-fitting silhouette with a deep V-neckline and a full, flared skirt. The bodice is adorned with intricate embroidery and beading, giving it a luxurious and opulent look. The sleeves are long and bell-shaped, adding to the overall elegance of the design. The use of rich, bold colors such as red, gold, and black adds to the Spanish influence, while the inclusion of fringe and ruffles adds a playful and dynamic element to the dress. The overall effect is a design that is both sophisticated and festive, perfect for the lively and energetic spirit of the 1920s. Mabel E. Johnston was a renowned costume designer who worked in the world of theatre and film, and this sketch is a testament to her artistic talent and ability to create stunning and innovative designs. Her work was featured in various magazines and publications, showcasing her designs to a wide audience and helping to shape the fashion trends of the time.
