Wondering what to wear for tomorrow’s PSIA Gala? Stay creative and get inspired by some of these 1920 outfit ideas ✨✨

Step into the Roaring Twenties with F. Scott Fitzgerald…

When we think of the Jazz Age, we think of none other than the illustrious F. Scott Fitzergerald and his seminal work The Great Gatsby — which was first published in April 1925 (which makes our gala a nod to the centennial of the book’s ‘parution’). The book was written almost entirely while Fitzergerald was staying in Paris/the Côte d’Azur.

In 1919, at just 23, Fitzgerald began living by his pen—mostly short stories he sold to The Saturday Evening Post to make ends meet. Though known for his novels, it was his love of glamour, excess, and drama that made him stand out— a vision that was nourished by his time in France.

Between 1921 and 1931, Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda made several trips to Paris. They frequented many hotels and later lived at 14 rue de Tilsitt, 58 rue de Vaugirard (in the sixth), and 10 rue Pergolèse.

He spent his nights at the legendary Dingo Bar on rue Delambre—where he met Hemingway—and Harry’s New York Bar on rue Daunou, featured in photos 4 and 5 (where you can still go to grab a great Bloody Mary). He frequented Sylvia Beach’s Shakespeare & Co. (features in photo’s 1-3, with Sylvia out front), Gertrude Stein’s salon, and Edith Wharton’s apartment on rue de Varenne…steps away from our Sciences Po Campus!

Paris in the twenties buzzed with cocktails, cafés, and jazz. And through it all, Fitzgerald remained the symbol of the age: brilliant, reckless, unforgettable.

Join us for a night in his world — where the champagne flows and the twenties roar.
