This year’s Winter Deco Fashion Flaunt Categories are listed below: 

Best Dressed Child

A charming showcase of young vintage style with a cosy winter touch. This category celebrates the child who captures the joy, elegance, and playful spirit of the Art Deco era through beautifully styled winter fashion. From smart wool coats and tiny tailored suits to flapper-inspired dresses, berets, boots, and winter accessories, this prize recognises the youngster who brings warmth, personality, and timeless Deco flair to the stage.

Best Original Winter Ensemble (Male and Female)

A tribute to genuine vintage fashion and classic winter sophistication. This category recognises entrants wearing authentic garments and accessories from the Art Deco period, styled to reflect the elegance of the cooler season. Whether featuring tailored overcoats, luxurious knitwear, original gowns, refined suiting, or carefully preserved accessories, this prize rewards outstanding presentation, authenticity, and enduring 1930s winter style.

Best Recreated Winter Ensemble (Male and Female)

Celebrating the artistry of vintage-inspired design, this category honours those who have meticulously recreated the glamour of the Art Deco era with a winter influence. From expertly tailored outerwear and layered daywear to handcrafted details and thoughtfully chosen accessories, this prize recognises creativity, authenticity, and exceptional attention to period style while evoking the sophistication of a 1930s winter wardrobe.

Most stylish Deco Sporting Attire

Embrace the elegance of winter leisurewear in our Deco Sporting Attire category, inspired by the fashionable sporting pursuits of the 1920s and 1930s. Think woolen golf ensembles, stylish skiing knits, tailored riding attire, cricket blazers, winter tennis whites, or chic seaside layering for brisk coastal strolls. This category celebrates the glamour and sophistication of cold-weather sporting fashion from the Art Deco era, where practicality met impeccable style. Contestants are encouraged to showcase authenticity, creativity and vintage flair while capturing the spirit of winter recreation in Deco fashion.
