Modern 1930s fashion: Kate Moss in Vogue magazine

Here's a great example of a modern take on 1930s silver screen glamour - it's Kate Moss as featured in Vogue (UK) magazine, December 2007.

I'm not a huge fan of the chunky necklace and ring and would have opted for more of an art deco diamonds look, and the dress is just a tad too low-cut/high-cut for my tastes - if I were designing this gown the V of the neckline would end between the breasts rather than at the waist, and the slit in the skirt would stop just above the knee. I love the colour and drape of the fabric, and all the other accessories work well.

Overall the whole outfit really captures the look of a sultry, sexy 1930s screen siren. Hats off to Kate for helping to bring vintage glamour back in style!
