EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1914, showcases the extraordinary fashion trend of human hair headdresses among the elite social circles of the time. The French actress, identified as Granville, is seen adorned with a radiant ensemble of vibrantly colored headdresses crafted entirely from real human hair. The intricately woven designs, reminiscent of exotic flowers and feathers, cascade down her back and frame her face, adding an allure and mystique to her appearance. The use of human hair in fashion was a popular practice during the early 20th century, particularly in the realm of evening wear. This trend, which predated the outbreak of World War I, was a testament to the lengths women would go to in order to make a statement and turn heads. The headdresses were often sourced from wigmakers or donated by friends and family, and were meticulously styled and arranged to create eye-catching works of art. The human hair headdresses were not only a symbol of wealth and status, but also a reflection of the artistic and creative spirit of the era. The intricate designs and bold colors showcased in this photograph represent the daring and innovative spirit of fashion during this time, as well as the fascination with the exotic and the natural world. This photograph, taken by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd, offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of early 20th century fashion and the extraordinary lengths women went to in order to make a statement and stand out from the crowd.
