Discover Daisy Buchanan in the Modern Day
By Kayi Tsang, March 15th, 2012
“I hope she’ll be a fool — that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.” – Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby
Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby is the ultimate charming and beautiful socialite of the roaring twenties. As seen in Mia Farrow’s portrayal of Daisy in the 1974 adaptation of The Great Gatsby, the innocence and purity of her character is reflected in soft white chiffon flapper dresses, large creme floppy hats, and occasionally a sparkly headband or layered beaded necklaces to bring out a light flamboyance of the golden age. With what CITYist has chosen for you, get ready to immerse yourself in the glamourous golden age of the twenties created by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
