The 1930s was a stylish era in women's fashion. The Great Depression may have brought an abrupt end to the extravagance of the 1920s but the 1930s saw new innovations in design and textiles that focused on practicality and durability whilst maintaining sophistication. The Golden Age of Hollywood heavily influenced fashion during the 1930s. Glamorous movie stars such as Greta Garbo, Jean Harlow and Marlene Dietrich set new fashion trends which caught on all over the world. Estonia was no exception and the women kept up to date with the latest fashions. This photograph shows that the ladies of Tallinn from this era were pretty chic.
