Originating in the 1920s and 1930’s, a time when Walt Disney started the Walt Disney Studios, Art Deco fashion gave expression to women eager to exert individuality and independence in the modern era.
With her flapper style pose, bare shoulders and drop-waisted dress, Snow White embodies the look of the roaring 1920s. Faux gem stones on her flowing cape, iridescent paint, a headband with bow and glitter elements embellish the luxurious look of Snow White’s outfit.
An incised radiating vintage pattern on the yellow portions of Snow White’s dress is characteristic of the Art Deco style. Note the repeating pattern on the fair Princess’ top, waist, and back of the cape – a nod to the pattern on Snow White’s puffy sleeves in her original film costume.
