Egyptomania!

Around the 1920's fashion was inspired by Ancient Eypt and the film 'Cleopatra' (1917) starring Theda Bara as the title role. Also the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb was discovered in 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter. These moments inspired the fashion world and advertisements of Egyptian references were made everywhere.

 

These designs were exhibited i the Metropolitan Museum of Art and have Egyptian patterns on them.
