#TBT Fashion: The Roaring Twenties

In the tradition of Throwback Thursday, Ms. BOMB will highlight fashion from the past! What's your favorite era? 

What better way to kickoff #TBT than with The Roaring Twenties! This era represented a new liberation in women and men's fashion. The Women's Right Movement and art movements, such as surrealism played a heavy role in the introduction of modern fashion!
