Art Deco is a term used to describe a style of visual arts, whether its architecture, furniture design, paintings, jewelry or clothing. The term was coined in France after World War 1, and in it's heyday represented luxury, glamour and technological progress. 

I have always loved art deco paintings for the color, vibrancy and angular lines.  Here are  a few of my recent favorite art deco inspired artwork, found on pinterest, and you'll see a commonality in the attention to female elegance of the 1920's, flapper era.

What era of artwork are you inspired by? 

I absolutely love these vintage winter coats!! Even though they are designs ranging from the 1930's - 1960's, they are all still relevant in today's fashion and I would wear them all.

You can see some design attributes were popular across decades, like the big collars, oversized buttons and trimmed sleeves. But each coat is so unique! From boucle capes, to cinched waists, to trapeze swing, I love all of the silhouettes. And the colors! They are all such beautiful shades of natural colors.
