EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting advertisement for Barkers of Kensington's sailor collar blouses from 1914. The elegant woman in the photograph exudes confidence and charm as she dons the stylish blouse, setting a trend for the fashion-forward women of the era. With its sailor collar and short sleeves, this blouse was a popular choice for the summer season, offering a practical yet chic look. The hemstitched garment, tailored to perfection, features amber buttons that add a touch of sophistication to the design. The 1910s were an exciting time for fashion, with women's clothing becoming more modern and expressive. The onset of World War I brought about a shift in styles, with practicality and functionality taking precedence over ornate and elaborate designs. The sailor collar blouse was a perfect reflection of this new trend, embodying the spirit of the times. The woman in the advertisement boasts a short, bobbed hairstyle that was also gaining popularity during this period. Her hair, styled in soft waves, frames her face and accentuates her delicate features. The overall effect is one of timeless beauty and elegance, making this advertisement a true treasure for anyone interested in fashion history. Barkers of Kensington was a renowned clothing retailer in London during the early 20th century, known for its high-quality garments and innovative designs. This advertisement is a testament to the company's commitment to staying ahead of the fashion curve and catering to the evolving needs and preferences of its customers.
