I love Helena's bold use of traditional detailing and gorgeous patterned loths.Recently working in our studio in anchester have noticed a new style creeping in. It seems that the 1920's is all the rage at the moment. This era included a lot of nteresting uiting choices, making it still a very opular ecade that my customers reference.Oxford bags ere a loose fitting, wide legged trouser worn by students at the University of Oxford in the 1920s and remained popular until the 1950s.The style originated from a ban in 1924 on the wearing of knickerbockers, which were intended for use in sport, by Oxford undergraduates at lectures.
