This episode covers the inter-war period between 1914 and 1941, which starts with the Les Années folles ("crazy years" in French) and refers to the decadence of the 1920s in France. The name hints at the opulent social, artistic, and cultural collaborations that took place in these years. The same period is also referred to as the Roaring Twenties or the Jazz Age in the United States.
In this episode we will discuss Parisian Café Culture, the Jazz Age, Prohibition, Flapper girls, the Moulin Rouge and the Ziegfeld follies, Salvador Dali, Coco Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli, Luisa Casati, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Noel Coward, and the Americans in Paris.. We learn why revolutions were started in Cafés, why your lover shouldn’t become your manager, why the Americans love Paris and why they’re hated for it, that the best alcohol in a prohibition probably involves a boat ride, and that Chanel was more rebellious than she looked… So sit back, grab a glass of champagne, coffee or absinth… and let us take you an opulent tour of fashion and music’s greatest moments in history. Will you join us?
