Step back in time and join young girls from the Balkan States, Earls Court, and Old Japan as they showcase traditional clothing at The Balkan States Exhibition in 1909. Meanwhile, Peter Robinson's latest fashion line for teenage girls is turning heads with its modern designs. Venture into the Victorian era and find girls blackberrying in their late 1890s attire, inspired by Kate Greenaway's illustrations in "The Open Door" and "Winter 1892. " Fast forward to the early 1900s, where young women prove their mettle as WAACs (Women's Auxiliary Air Force) and RFC Cadets during World War I. Delphie, a London University student, leads her crew in the Ladies Rowing Challenge, while crowds gather to watch the fire at Halls, Dartford, in 1937. Lastly, a moment of relaxation: a girl gives her beloved doll, Dolly, a bath, capturing the essence of childhood innocence.
