Flapper girls are a staple of any 1920’s Hollywood Party. With sharp bobs, knee-skimming straight dresses and energetic dance moves, Flapper Girls were the essence of the Roarin’ 20s.

The meaning ‘flapper’ is thought to come from either the reference to a young bird – flapping it’s wings in an attempt to fly; or the less complimentary description of a young girl who rebels socially with short hair, short skirts, smoking and drinking. The Flapper Girl was made famous by screen actress Olive Thomas in the film of the same name in 1920. Clara Bow and Joan Crawford followed in Olive’s footsteps, becoming famous for their flapper-girl appearances and performances.
