"1930's fashion. Fashion in the 1930's actually kind of evolved a little different from the twenties of more masculine and more, not ashamed, but more of your hiding your body and your shape and the thirties actually emerged from showing your body or contours and the woman figure. So, that's having more higher waistlines and more defined, defined forms in the dresses. So, also actually separated, actually was at a time when evening wear separated from casual wear and evening wear was, you know, more on elaborate as far as when Lemay was started to be used with sequins and beading and day wear is more on things that are comfort and having more of a sophisticated look.

It's a time of what people feel is Hollywood, you know, you have the 1930s mafia or the celebrities, Mae West, and it's something that you, everyone feels that they want to get into this industry because of that glamor, and it's very sophisticated.

I think it's very complimentary to a person, a woman's shape as far as the high waist line. You can't go wrong with that and for men, it's, you know, the fashion has gone down from the 1930's but I think it's, it's attainable of wearing it during the day of little things as far as the vest, a cap, and I do actually see that in current trends. You know, we are bringing back history in fashion and that's a little bit about fashion in 1930s."
