Art deco is a 1920s and 30s design movement of geometric patterns, luxurious materials, streamlined forms, and opulent ornamentation, originating in 1920s Paris as an expression of modernity, luxury, and the machine age. Geometric-beaded dresses are the signature garment. Bold jewelry carries chevron or sunburst motifs. Metallic fabrics, strappy heeled sandals, and feathered headbands complete it.
