Jaded Sheba
A modern take on a 1920s flapper dress: Zero-waste 10-paneled handkerchief 100% silk charmeuse monochromatic minidress, draped on the bias with fringe trim and high neck ties.
March 2022
For my History of Fashion final, I was asked to put my modern twist on a historic garment of my choice. The 1920s drew my attention at once: a tremendously significant decade for women that opened with the ratification of the 19th amendment. Gender roles shifted as young women began not only voting but also smoking, drinking, and partying. In terms of costume, this translated to dresses having much shorter hemlines, with the waist levels dropped and no longer cinched; silhouettes reshaped the feminine ideal. I have tried to emulate the era by sticking to these new forms and shapes.
After a conversation with my professor, I realized that exactly 100 years apart, the young people of the Roaring 20s and today’s Gen Z share a similar sense of numbness. So many exciting and new changes are happening, yet the younger generations fail to seize the spark and seem, in many ways, jaded. In the 1920s, “Sheba” meant a woman with sex appeal. This was a Biblical allusion to the Queen of Sheba, who came to Jerusalem bearing spices, precious stones, and gold for Solomon, seeking wisdom. In short, “Jaded Sheba” juxtaposes being sexy, appealing, and wealthy with the sense of feeling numb to it all at the same time.
I am grateful to my good friends Reagan Beckham (MUA) and Alexa Tabert (photographer) for helping bring my vision to life with 1920s-inspired makeup and a dramatic editorial.

“Vision of Venus”
The goddess of love: a journey of passion and beauty, from Rome to the 21st century.
The result, Vision of Venus, empowers its bearer through a dynamic interplay between exuberance and control. Silk palazzo pants and extended leg-of-mutton brocade sleeves evoke the flowing robes of the classical world, while a utility belt and a collared, quarter-zip wool bodice reflect the functionality of a powerful woman’s garments in contemporary life. The leather corset, embellished with bold gold grommets, unites these elements in a frank celebration of sensuality.
