1926
Meet the original 'It Girl' in this electrifying Swedish poster for the 1926 silent film Mantrap. The Swedish title, Synd som lockar, translates roughly to 'Sin that Tempts,' giving the movie a much more scandalous vibe than the original English title! Clara Bow's wide, doe-eyed gaze and signature bobbed hair perfectly capture the rebellious, flapper spirit of the Roaring Twenties. Directed by Victor Fleming—who would later helm classics like The Wizard of Oz—this poster uses bold yellow and red blocks to create a striking Art Deco aesthetic that screams 1920s glamour.
