These are three things that may see a return of 1920s fashion in 2012 and 2013. They aren't, however, the only things and you can find a much more thorough discussion about return of 20s fashion by following that link.

The most recent first full blown revival of 1920s fashion saw flapper dresses become one of the defining women's clothing trends of 2008. The revival of flapper fashion began a year earlier, however, when then-trend setter Kate Moss was spotted at the Glastonbury music festival wearing a bolero that had all the hallmarks of the flapper girl. Suddenly, we all wanted a piece of Roaring 20s cool and, while the fashion industry had long been experimenting with fashion revivals, the fast fashion industry was quick to cater. As were the luxury fashion houses. So everywhere you looked flapper dresses and flapper-influenced pieces could be seen.

Each of them offered up the loose-fitting dresses with embellishments such fringing and beading that the 1920's fashion is romanticised for. But it couldn't last as a trend. Too many fast fashion retailers and fashion houses were producing flapper dresses, and it wasn't always easy to tell them apart. So it was that a fashion that had originally lasted for most of the 1920s lasted little more than a year in the 2000s. Which is why the piece we reference above about a 20s fashion revival highlights the fact that another 1920s fashion comeback might not see a full blown return of the flapper dress but a return of its elements and details instead.
