Fashion: Thirties something

Art Deco, the great modernist movement of the Twenties and Thirties, was used in architecture, interiors, furniture, art and clothes. And it is still revitalising contemporary fashion. Hussein Chalayan uses sharp lines to enhance the silhouette, while Martine Sitbon covers her clothes with stark diamond shapes. Photographs by Noelle Hoeppe
