In burgeoning cities like Tokyo and Osaka, the rise of the “Salaryman” and the iconic Moga (Modern Girl), who sported bobbed hair and flapper dresses, signaled a shift toward cosmopolitan consumerism, jazz clubs, and cinema. However, this “roaring” decade was also a period of immense resilience, following the devastating Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, Japan underwent a massive industrial and architectural transformation.

While liberalism and labor movements flourished in the cafes of Ginza, the decade remained a fragile golden age, balanced precariously between the artistic freedom of the post-WWI boom and the looming economic hardships that would soon give way to 1930s militarism. These vintage photos, via Wolfgang Wiggers, capture everyday life in Japan in the 1920s.

In the 1970s, Reynolds was the undisputed king of Hollywood, blending rugged masculinity with a self-deprecating wit that made him a global icon. He dominated the box office for a record five consecutive years (1978–1982), a feat matched only by Bing Crosby. While he spent the 1960s in TV Westerns, his role as Lewis Medlock in the 1972 survival thriller Deliverance established him as a serious actor capable of intense, physical performances.

Photographs from this decade frequently show women leaning against sleek Model Ts or elegant roadsters, their poses radiating a sense of adventure and defiance. These images reflected a world where women were navigating their own paths, both on the road and in society. Whether dressed in practical driving coats or glamorous evening wear, the women of the Jazz Age used the automobile to signal their entry into the modern world, turning the act of posing with a car into a bold statement of autonomy and style.

Jennifer Aniston’s appearance in Tatler Magazine occurred for the August 1997 issue of the British edition. This was a significant year for her, as she was also promoting her film Picture Perfect and appeared on several other major covers (including Cosmopolitan that same month).

By 1997, Aniston was also beginning to navigate the pressures of intense media attention. Her personal life, particularly her high-profile relationship with Brad Pitt, which would soon begin, was becoming tabloid material. Yet shoots like Tatler presented her in a more refined, editorial light, positioning her not just as a TV star, but as a serious Hollywood actress with longevity.
