EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases four exquisite costumes designed by the visionary Natacha Rambova for the Paramount film "Forbidden Fruit," released in 1921. The costumes, which date back to 1922, reflect the essence of the Jazz Age and the vibrant culture of the Roaring Twenties. The first costume, a dazzling gold dress adorned with intricate beading and fringe, exudes an air of sophistication and glamour. It was worn by the film's leading lady, Blanche Sweet, in a scene where she embodies the allure and charm that draws the film's protagonist into temptation. The second costume, a red velvet number with a deep V-neckline and a flowing skirt, exudes a sense of mystery and seduction. This dress was designed for the film's seductress character, played by Julanne Johnston, and was meant to captivate and entice the audience as much as her character did the film's protagonist. The third costume, a stunning blue gown with a high waist and a full skirt, is reminiscent of the flapper style that was popular during the 1920s. This dress, worn by Olga Baclanova, represented the carefree and rebellious spirit of the era and added to the film's authenticity. The fourth and final costume, a simple yet elegant white dress, was designed for the film's climax, where Blanche Sweet's character seeks redemption. The dress symbolizes purity and innocence, and its simplicity contrasts beautifully with the more extravagant costumes worn in other scenes. Natacha Rambova's innovative designs for "Forbidden Fruit" not only enhanced the film's visual appeal but also solidified her reputation as a leading costume designer in Hollywood during the silent film era. This collection of costumes is a testament to the creativity and artistry that defined the 1920s and continues to inspire fashion and design today.
