Accommodate Beehive Bouffant Crowns Doubt Exaggerated Slightly Styles Tall Toilet Vogue
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the year 1917, an era of dramatic fashion trends and iconic styles. This photograph, brought to you by Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a slightly exaggerated yet enchanting view of the vogue for big hair during this period. The women in this image, with their towering bouffants and backcombed locks, epitomize the extravagance and flair of the early 20th century. The tall hairdos of 1917 were not only a statement of personal expression but also a practical solution for women who wore high-crowned hats. The hats of the time, with their grandiose designs and high crowns, required ample space to sit comfortably on the head. In response, women embraced the big hair trend, creating voluminous styles that not only complemented their headwear but also added an air of elegance and sophistication. The bouffant and beehive styles, which were popular during this time, were achieved by meticulously backcombing the hair and teasing it to create height and volume. The result was a stunning, towering hairstyle that turned heads and captured the imagination of the world. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when fashion was a bold and daring expression of individuality. The women in this image, with their big, beautiful hair and high-crowned hats, embody the spirit of the era and remind us of the enduring allure of vintage style.
