EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the First World War, the fashion world continued to evolve, with a growing preference for simple, tailor-made costumes that seemed more in harmony with the times. One such fashion statement that captured the essence of this trend was the fashionable winter coat made of pony etoffe, as depicted in this illustration from The Highway of Fashion by M.E. Brooke, published in 1914. The coat is shown in a full-length pose, with its long, graceful lines falling elegantly at the back. In contrast, the front is cut with an elongated bolero effect, creating an intriguing juxtaposition of form and function. The collar, a striking feature of the coat, is lined with real ermine, adding a touch of luxury and opulence to the design. The collar is finished with a buckle of pony etoffe, further emphasizing the use of this high-quality material. Despite the challenges and hardships brought about by the war, fashion continued to be a source of inspiration and escape for many women. The illustration shows the fashionable lady holding an umbrella, suggesting that even in the midst of adversity, one could still look chic and stylish. The use of pony etoffe, a fur material, adds an element of warmth and practicality to the coat, making it an ideal choice for the harsh winter weather. This illustration serves as a fascinating glimpse into the world of fashion during wartime, showcasing how even in the most challenging of times, people continued to find joy and beauty in the simple pleasures of life, including the latest fashion trends.
