EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of summer leisure and the emergence of a new fashion trend in 1913. The image, titled "Women Bathers" and published by Illustrated London News Ltd, depicts a group of women enjoying the sun and waves at Ostend seaside resort. The women are dressed in one-piece bathing costumes, a significant departure from the previous bulky and restrictive garments. These new bathing suits, with their streamlined designs and sleek lines, allowed for greater freedom of movement and expression, embodying the spirit of the Edwardian era's growing emphasis on modernity and individuality. The women in the photograph exude a sense of joy and relaxation, their laughter and playful banter adding to the lively atmosphere of the scene. The costumes themselves, with their high necklines, long sleeves, and cinched waists, are both practical and elegant, reflecting the changing attitudes towards women's bodies and their role in society. This photograph is a testament to the transformative power of fashion and the enduring appeal of the seaside as a place of escape and rejuvenation.
