The Great Gatsby
New York’s golden age of glamour and jazz is being revisited at the movies through a reworking of F Scott Fitzgerald’s famous novel The Great Gatsby. It’s by no means the first cinematic version of the story but this time the challenge has been taken up by Moulin Rouge director Baz Luhrman with actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire in the main roles.
Set in the 1920s, the romantic film recounts the life of Jay Gatsby, an entrepreneur and socialite whose extravagance captivates his aspiring author-neighbour. These tales of decadence, love and deceit are written down as part of a memoir, that the author eventually titles “The Great Gatsby”. It’s all set to a very modern soundtrack with music from acts such as Jack White and Florence + The Machine.
Alchemy England pays homage to New York’s roaring ‘20s with our inspired Deco Gothique range. The Swarovski crystal decorated Chrysler Bat hair comb [HC6] is the perfect way to add a little pizzazz to both sleek retro bobs and more detailed up-dos. It’s complimented by the giant brass sunburst of the Gotham necklace [P635] and the carefully-crafted Chrysler-Bat Shot Glass [CWT44], which is perfect for knocking back your favourite spirits with Gatsby-esque glam.
