With film and fashion inextricably linked, next season's biggest style story is a Great Gatsby gallery of unbridled glamour. Following the 1974 movie adaptation of the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, Baz Luhrman's wildly expensive 2000s take on the roaring 20s (starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan) has inspired designers to revisit the golden age of decadent dressing.

From Gucci to Marchesa, the spring/summer runways rocked with lavish 1920s excess, with Gucci's spectacular collection of black and gold beaded flapper dresses already the most worn of the Hollywood party season. So, who's up for a shimmy on down to the mall to snap up the hottest trend for this season and next? Quick-step to it!
