EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, dated 1922, showcases an elegant Chinese Kolinsky Mantlet, a fashionable attire of the 1920s. The mantlet is adorned with a high stand collar that frames the wearer's face, adding an air of sophistication and grandeur. Two large, ornate buttons gracefully close the front of the garment, drawing the eye to the waist area. The most striking feature of this mantlet, however, is the long fringing that hangs from the sleeves, creating the illusion of a cape from the back. The Kolinsky fur, a prized luxury material in the early 20th century, adds a touch of opulence and warmth to the mantlet. The fur's soft, dense texture contrasts beautifully with the crisp, structured collar and buttons. The intricate design of the mantlet is further accentuated by the low-hanging fringing, which adds a dynamic and playful element to the overall look. The use of an umbrella in the photograph adds an additional layer of intrigue to the image, suggesting that the mantlet was not only a fashion statement but also a practical solution for navigating the unpredictable weather of the early 1900s. The historical significance of this mantlet lies in its representation of the fusion of Eastern and Western fashion trends during the 1920s, a time of cultural exchange and innovation. This photograph print is a testament to the rich history of fashion and the enduring allure of the past. The Chinese Kolinsky Mantlet, with its unique design and luxurious materials, continues to captivate and inspire fashion enthusiasts and historians alike.
