Sometimes I am convinced that I was born in the wrong era, that I really should have been born decades earlier somewhere in the middle of Hollywood’s golden age of glamour. The series of ‘Road to…’ movies starring Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, and Dorothy Lamour were just that – a glimpse into luxe travel to far off places, all spun with a side of satire and humor. From 1940 – 1962, seven pictures were released in the ‘Road Series’ including ‘Road to Zanzibar’ and ‘Road to Bali’ among others exploring popular film genres of the day from jungle to high seas adventure to arabian nights and even the spy films of the 1960s.
Inspiration for today’s ‘styling the bump’ came not only from the Road Series (of which there was plenty) but also from what I perceive to be the essense of Hollywood in those years. One part adventure, one part whimsy, two parts glamour, and a whole lot of style – done in a way very relevant to today’s fashion & an ever growing baby bump!
