The 1920s editorial by Lenne Chai is a captivating new series photographed for Design Scene. This elegant series features model Alisa Y, who is dressed in fur jackets and retro lace dresses that recreate the flapper fashion from the early decade.

The 1920s era represented a time when women experimented more with fashion and began discarding more conservative styles from previous years. Hair stylist Mark Cheng has done a phenomenal job styling the model's hair in a classic bobbed look with a vintage-style wave.

During this era, the blunt bob look took off for practicality and maintenance reasons when more women entered the workforce. The model resembles a modern-day Mary Pickford and Marion Davies with her sweet and innocent looks and plump red lips.
