The pages of Vogue in 1924 reflect a wide breadth of styles—some of which have had more staying power than others.
The entire world turns its eyes to Paris this summer, as the French city prepares to host the Olympic Games for the first time in 100 years. A lot has changed since the 1924 Paris Olympics. While nobody here at Vogue witnessed the last Paris Games, we are able to take a gander through our archives to see what was in style way back then. Flapper-friendly slip dresses and cloche hats lived side by side, while LBDs and pearls were just as popular.
Princess Zinaida Nikolayevna Yusupova of Russia wore a turban and pearls, while the actor Ina Claire modeled a Chanel herringbone tweed skirt set. While the photography remained black-and-white, illustrated covers from artists including Harriet Meserole, George Wolfe Plank, and Pierre Brissaud show the full spectrum of colorful looks that captured Vogue editors’ hearts—from the ruffly, white spring dresses to more androgynous skirt suits.
