Next month marks 70 years since the death of American author F Scott Fitzgerald, author of The Great Gatsby. The undisputed king of the jazz age, he charted the flapper-filled Twenties with such flair that his literary depictions of decadence still define the decade. From fashion to fragrance, here are ten stylish ways to celebrate his legacy
Anna Sui Flapper Dress
This beautiful black silk tulle dress is dripping with sequins. Gorgeous. Available from net-a-porter.com, £555.
Nude Court Shoes
As hemlines shot skywards in the twenties, shoes were suddenly on show, making Mary Janes an instant style classic. These Greta Square Toe Mary Janes from Topshop prove the style still works. £60.
Kate Moss
Who better than Kate to live out the roaring Twenties? Her notorious thirtieth birthday party was themed The Beautiful and Damned, after Fitzgerald's classic 1922 novel.
