Friends, have you all heard about the new HBO series, Boardwalk Empire? Set during Prohibition it promises to replace the Sopranos in the mob drama genre, but more importantly it is sure to provide us all with fabulous fashion eye candy every week. As a huge fan of the Art Deco era I’m really hoping that Boardwalk Empire will do for 1920′s fashion what Mad Men did for mid-century chic. Just looking at this photo shoot from Vanity Fair has me itching to bob my hair and wear red lipstick every day. Dare I dream that this time next year we might start seeing flapper dresses, little hats, and mile long strings of pearls popping up in stores?

ooh I’ve missed some great posts whilst I’ve been away…. Yes I have heard of BoardWalk – the fashion does look amazing. One to watch after MadMen has finished – although we’ll be going back in time!
I hadn’t heard about this yet! It sounds absolutely amazing; can’t wait!
oh wow. I haven’t heard of the show but will tune in just for the fashion. Modern day clothes with the 1920′s flair. Gotta love it!
This shoot is gorgeous — they’re such beautiful ladies! I hadn’t heard anything about this show but I’ll definitely look into it. It certainly looks like it might be some good fun.
this looks like a super fabulous show~!! i LOVE all their outfits and it looks like they are best girl friends!!
I love every single one of those images! We don’t have HBO, but my hub and I are itching to watch Boardwalk Empire. I have to confess that the biggest draw for me was that Omar from The Wire is included in the cast. We’ll just have to rent the season after it’s over!
Just heard about this!! Sounds uber cool – we have a 3 month free hbo subscription – uh oh, am I going to have to sign up??!
So looking forward to it. Love Gretchen Mol!
I saw the preview the other day. It totally made me want to order HBO!
When I was acting in NYC last year this show was all the buzz and everyone wanted to work on it. I’ve heard only amazing things about it and the cast is suppose to be phenomenal. I definitely think flappers will be the next big trend. I love the hairstyles and make-up!
LOVE LOVE LOVE! i sure hope it helps influence some 20s fashion!
I’m not going to lie, I hope it catches on like Mad Men did fashion-wise. I love this look. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been a flapper girl for Halloween in my life!
yesyes, I just heard about this show this morning! Ironic, indeed! Looks like I’ve got a new favorite show….
No I have not heard of it!! The pictures are exquisite! I’m so in love with this look! and OMG the SHOES!!
