# Striking Prohibition-Inspired Fashion The KNAPP Post-War Collection Yearns for the Roaring 20s By | Published 2013-06-04 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postwar-collection References: [inspirefirst](http://www.inspirefirst.com/2013/06/04/knapp-postwar-collection-antonia-yordanova/) & [knapp.bg](http://www.knapp.bg/collections.html) The new KNAPP Post-War collection by Antonia Yordanova channels 1920s glamour and luxury at its finest. Each dress is fit for a night out at a speakeasy with a dashing beau, and feature warm colors such as burgundies, mauves and oranges. Their flattering shape makes for a beautiful fit on women of all sizes and their understated colors make sure that these dresses will warm up a complexion instead of overpower it. Some of the most striking pieces in the Post-War collection are those that take [masculine fashion trends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take) from the 1920s and put a feminine twist on them. One such ensemble consists of a floor-length grey skirt and a dark orange sweater paired with a black riding hat. This outfit is much more masculine than the others in the collection, but serves to explore just how fluid gender-specific fashion trends have become. This stunning collection of prohibition-era ensembles hints at a rise in popularity of [vintage styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry). These [flattering designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kallmeyer-resort-2026-collection) will be seen in the mainstream market before too long, but hopefully without the accompaniment of another prohibition. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Vintage-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity for brands to create modern, yet nostalgic clothing lines influenced by prohibition-era styles. - **Gender Fluid Fashion:** Room for exploration in merging masculine and feminine fashion trends, creating unique and inclusive designs. - **Retro Color Palette:** Growing trend of warm, understated colors like burgundies, mauves, and oranges in fashion design. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can tap into the rising popularity of vintage styles and create modern collections with a throwback flair. - **Retail:** Retailers can cater to the demand for vintage-inspired clothing by curating and stocking retro-themed fashion lines. - **Fashion Accessories:** Opportunities for designers to create accessories that complement and enhance the retro fashion trend with items like riding hats. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Dreamy Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection.md) - [Comfortable Sophisticated Knit Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kerisma-knits.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Subculture-Themed Generational Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet.md) - [Arty Knitwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arty-knitwear.md)
