1930 - 1939
SHIMMERING GOWNS
At the end of the 1920s the relatively brief reign of the short evening dress was over.
The fashionable sipped cocktails in long, figure-hugging gowns that sometimes left little to the imagination.
Frequently cut along the lines of swimwear, dresses were often precariously suspended from the thinnest of shoulder straps and left the backs of their wearers completely exposed.
Shiny, fluid fabric—such as satin and lame—was cut on the bias and manufactured into confections that clung to the body.
Women stepped out in whites, off-whites, silver, gold, and shades of apricot, peach, and salmon—if they were not wearing black.
JEAN HARLOW
When Howard Hughes’s movie Hell’s Angels was released in 1930, 19-year-old Jean Harlow became an international star.
Harlow popularized the white evening gown, and by bleaching her hair weekly completed the look and had an indirect influence on the sale of peroxide.
American designer Adrian (Gilbert Adrian) created gowns for Harlow’s role in Reckless (1935, above), accentuating her body with clinging, bias-cut dresses made of light-reflecting materials.

闪烁的礼服
二十世纪20年代末，短款的晚礼服时代结束了。
时尚啜饮着鸡尾酒，被包裹在细长的紧身长袍里，留给人们的几乎没有什么想象的空间了。
沿着泳装线条剪裁，肩带会不时从穿着者纤细的肩膀上滑落，而背后则是完全裸露的。
闪光流线的面料，例如缎面和亮片，被斜裁后人为附着在贴身衣物上。
女性会穿上白色，银色，金色，杏色，桃色和鲑鱼色，如果它们不穿黑色的话。
让 哈洛
霍华德休斯的电影“地狱天使”于1930年发行，19岁的让哈洛（Jean Harlow）成为国际明星。
哈洛使白色晚宴长裙风靡起来，搭配着她的浅色染发造型，对染发剂产生了直接的销售影响。
美国设计师Adrian（Gilbert Adrian）为哈洛在Reckless（1935年之后）的角色创作了长袍礼服，强调了她的身体与反光材质礼服裙的完美贴合。
