[Compiled and published by New Sancai] If the 1920s gave birth to the new Art Deco movement, then the 1930s was the era of neoclassicism. During the depression that followed the stock market crash and World War II looming, escapist black-and-white films emerged, and fashion photography developed rapidly. Below are some silhouettes from Vouge magazine in the 1930s.
