EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning autumn gown, captured in a photograph from 1917, showcases the timeless elegance and innovative design of women's fashion during this era. The image features a lady dressed in a black velvet gown designed by Madame Barri, a renowned fashion designer of the time. The deep tunic of the gown is accentuated by a unique trim made of skunk fur, adding an unexpected yet captivating touch to the classic color of the dress. The lady's outfit is completed with a matching hat, adding an extra layer of sophistication to her ensemble. The hat, also adorned with skunk fur, complements the gown and enhances the overall look of the outfit. The use of fur in fashion during this period was a popular trend, as it was seen as a symbol of wealth and luxury. This photograph is a testament to the fashion trends of the early 20th century and the innovative designs that emerged during this time. The autumn season was a popular time for women to wear dark, richly colored gowns, and this black velvet number from Madame Barri is a perfect example of the stylish and sophisticated looks that were in vogue. The use of fur trim added an extra layer of warmth and glamour to the already stunning design. The intricate details of the gown, from the velvet fabric to the skunk fur trim, are beautifully captured in this photograph. It is a reminder of the rich history of fashion and the enduring allure of classic styles that continue to inspire designers and fashion enthusiasts to this day.
