EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to 1886, showcases a fashionable woman donning a coarse brown straw hat adorned with elegant brown velvet shades, known as mordore. The brim of the hat is trimmed with velvet bows, adding an air of refinement to the rustic straw base. Pink roses delicately nestle amongst the velvet bows, infusing the hat with a touch of femininity and charm. The year 1886 marked a significant period in women's fashion, with the Victorian era coming to an end and the Edwardian era beginning to emerge. This transitional phase was characterized by the blending of classic Victorian styles with more modern, fashionable trends. The woman in this photograph embodies the essence of this era, effortlessly combining the rustic charm of a straw hat with the sophistication of velvet trimmings and floral accents. The hat's design is reminiscent of the seaside fashion popular during this time, as women sought to protect themselves from the sun and wind while still maintaining an air of elegance. The use of roses and bows also reflects the prevalent floral motifs in Victorian and Edwardian fashion. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of women's fashion during the late 1800s. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and artistry that went into creating these exquisite headdresses, which were not only functional but also a reflection of the wearer's style and social status.
