"High Collar: A Fashionable Trend Through the Ages" Step back in time to 1817, where fashionistas donned high collars that exuded elegance and sophistication. In a hand-coloured etching from that era, we catch a glimpse of the stylish individuals embracing this trend. Fast forward to another iconic figure - Anne Lister of Shibden Hall. Her sketch showcases her confidence as she sports a high collar with watercolors on paper, proving that even in the early 19th century, this fashion statement was empowering. The allure of high collars transcended borders and eras. Princess Diana's visit to Hong Kong during their Far East tour saw her grace the occasion with regal charm. HRH The Princess of Wales effortlessly rocked a high collar ensemble, captivating all who laid eyes upon her. Madame Floge's portrait from 1902 immortalizes her in an oil-on-canvas masterpiece wearing an exquisite dress adorned with an elegant high collar. This depiction serves as a testament to how this style continued to captivate throughout different periods. As we delve into more recent history, Erwin Schwabe's creation from 1936 showcases a stunning dress featuring intricate details and a prominent high collar, and is clear that this timeless design has stood the test of time. Jean Peszel's reception gown from around 1940 further emphasizes how designers embraced the beauty and versatility of high collars during this period. The gown exudes glamour while highlighting its wearer's refined taste. Fanchon Larzelere's brocade dress from 1935-1942 demonstrates yet another example of how women embraced the allure of high collars during these years. This piece combines opulence with sophistication, making it perfect for any formal occasion. Even before these modern interpretations emerged, William Thomas Meyer captured someone sporting a distinguished look with his oil-on-canvas painting dating back to before 1802 - showcasing just how long this trend has been admired.
