In the 1920s fashion, most dresses have been monochromatic, as is this runway Alberta Ferretti silk dress from fall 2011, look 30. The very simple reason: Embroideries, Beadings and other decorations were in high demand. But the detailing of these could only be seen when put against a solid background. The rather brightshade of pink would not have been sought after, in a time when colors were pastel or at least muted. For 2022on the other hand orchid pink is said to be one of the colors in highest demand.

The knee-length dress, combined with a clean a-line cut and high neckline is reminiscent of the straight and wide cuts typical for the 20s. The embellished hem adds another fun element of the decade.
