post a commentGreat photos!
Thank you for posting a woman of color in this collection! She's young, fun, chic and very representative of how the jazz age would look in modern new york. (also, I don't know why but every time I see saddle shoes, I think of Lucy Van Pelt from the Peanuts)
-W-L
Her dress is lovely! I'd kill for one.
I just love how natural she looks. That cute wiggle dress paired with the old-fashioned shoes is just so perfect! Love the combo of argyle and subtle plaid on her friend, too.
These wonderful photos make me want to host my own "Jazz" party! ^^ Thanks for the inspiration, Sart!
Cute as two buttons!
I love the energy in these photos. She reminds me of Minnie Mouse!
Man, this is great! I really want to attend one of these parties. I can't dance 20's style, but just being around these people must be crazy fun.
*sigh* I was born in the wrong decade. I swear.
yay! swing dancers doing charleston steps!
These pictures show so much spirit and youthful-ness, i love them! Wish i was at this party :-)
Jazz Hands!!
I like that there is MOVEMENT in these photos which are refreshing from the static qualities of the usual ones!
LOVE it - such a fun fashion era and i adore her dress! yay, for swing dancing! looks like a fun event...glad you caught it for us, sart.
awesome vivacity! completely fun yet sexy at the same time. (: great capture scott!
i adore this series of jazz photos. completley nostalgic.
I love these! Thanks so much for posting them. I hope you continue to keep this as a yearly tradition.
Fabulous looks and great dance!!!!
Oh WOW what a stunning couple of people. I love it the outfits and the action...lovely.
CC
(LA street style)
What a lovely jazzy couple! Amazing shot! :o)
These made me happy too!
they are so cute! I wish I had been there. Looks like so much fun
It looks kind of fun :)
great action shots!
The woman in saddle shoes has such exuberance in the photos. She looks fantastic!
Love the dress and I love the way this couple dance !
woah so fun!!!
so so so lovely
I wish I was at this party, and I want those socks!!
Funny foto
I love all the pictures in this series so far, but by far this grouping is my favorite.
Effervescent.
they're beautiful, sart! you capture them with such exuberance..bravo!
Enough with the costumes already.
will someone tell me where to find some oxfords like hers?
oh! what fun. I want to go to this party before I die.
Loving the Jazz-Age photos! Am I the only one who thinks the saddle shoes are more 40s-50s style though?
I love these. So much energy! They make me proud to be a swing dancer.
V. cute!
Fantastic party and exquisite photos.
thats looks like a lot of fun! and the outfits are beautifuls
these r absolutley amazing....the enthusiastic in their faces make the shot...and her outfit is cute, vintagy and modern at once...love the blast from the past
thanks sart!!! kix ass
oh my...this looks like so much fun. i wish i could transport there. his outfit is perfect. i love the argyle socks. wonderful posts. love each and every pic.
Love the energy they both exude. The dress complements her boyish shape very well; this is the first time in a long time I've seen saddle shoes worn beautifully in an un-ironic way.
The young man really knows his period dress too! Great captures.
What I love the most: her calves! She has the gorgeous physique of a bicyclist! Her vivacity is a close second...
Brilliant! Fantastic shot and style!
what these photos don't depict is how sweltering hot the day was. and the lack of ice cream in the treats truck.
Hey Mr. S,
you don't happen to have any more photos of the gentleman in this picture do you? I was specifically hoping for one of his neck tie - looks intruiging.
Trust me to love the barely visible part of the photo- but i love the girl's dress that's hiding on the left! flapper dresses are so sweet with their neutral colours and drop waists
scott ,you've so inspired me by posting your Jazz age pictures . im hoping some fashion designers will get inspired too for SS 09.
thank you
i love what the man is wearing, but to be honest i don't like what the woman is wearing at all (for a 20s jazz festival anyway).
i dont understand how her look could be relatable to the roaring 20s at all, even as a "modern" version. she does have a great energy, im just not sold on her outfit.
Wonderful photos! I especially love the man's argyle socks.
Can I go and live there and drink iced tea all day? Love it.
This girl is stunning, seriously, great face-great style.
Oooooolé!
She's so lovely and full of life! I love those shoes they look amazing.
that dress is fantastic
I think the only woman in history that would have worn that outfit is Olive Oil!
Sart - you've captured the atmosphere so well - LOVE the dance photos, LOVE the dancing shoes! The girl in blue and white looks great, the simplicity of her outfit would have really shown off her dance moves. Must have been a great party!
Wonderful photos...great energy!
I was at this event on Sunday, and my friends and I spent the whole time staring enviously at this group. The outfits, the togetherness, the sense of fun--it was dazzling. Now I just need to know where to get vintage 20s clothing (without breaking the bank)!
beautiful! the shoes set off the dress perfectly
I love these so much!
Where can you find those long argyle socks ?
James
I am curious as to where the gentleman bought his plaid pants, I have been wanting a pair for quite some time.
saddle oxfords rule! They remind me of my Catholic school days!
i need that girl's shoes.
anyone have any idea where i could get some? I've been looking for ages.
Seriously, look at uniform supply stores. Any retailers that sell school uniforms...you'll find some saddle oxfords...
Ooh god this is amazing!! The shoes... jealousy runs through my veins... darn!
could she be any cuter?
The thing that makes her outfit even more awesome is the mix of fun, fashion, and most importantly, functionality! When I started swing dancing, it became a challenge to find clothes that were not only cute, but would still look good after exercising hard in them for a couple of hours. And then you add the special dancing shoes to the mix and... it gets very interesting. Guys get off a little easier (it looks like this guy's wearing his white Arris Allens, a classic swing dancer guy shoe), but ladies shoes can be more of a challenge to coordinate, especially since a lot of swing dancers can only afford one or maybe two pairs of dancing shoes. Consequently, it's very common to see ladies wearing very odd shoe/clothing combinations. You could wear other shoes, but often your legs hurt so badly afterwards it isn't worth it. It adds a whole 'nother layer of complexity, which makes this combination even more of a smashing success.
hi c!! so nice to find you here :)
i just love this lady. she's so adorable! and her dress is really cute, too. what's that on her head?
You really capture the energy of the people in these two shots. They literally jump off the page. Well done.
olive oil lives!
does anyone know anything about that dress?
i simply MUST have one!
Is it impolite to be delighted by how curvey she looks from behind in this dress? From the front, the dress seems child-like, but when you are able to see her profile, it's very flattering and feminine shape.
Lovely photos.

To the person asking about the shoes:
these are the best I can find online. http://www.tictactoes.com/dance/lindy.htm
For vintage reproductions, try unique-vintage.com. It's a pretty comprehensive site that has many dresses for (relatively) cheap.
The socks,plaid, and natural blends of clothes are exciting. I just think it is a great pic.
these shoes are the exact same shoes that I had bought online last month.. they are very comfortable and plus extremely cheap.
check www.payless.com
ever since i saw the katy perry video for thinking of you i've wanted those swing shoes that the woman is wearing.
would go so well with dresses for the summer! ...sighhh
