EDITORS COMMENTS
The Fashioning of a Fad: A Humorous Sequential Illustration by David Ghilchik In this delightfully satirical sequence by artist David Ghilchik, we witness the merry-go-round of fashion in full swing during the Roaring Twenties. The scene opens at a chic Riviera resort, where a smart and trend-setting society lady, adorned in the latest fashion - a leopard skin coat and hat - poses for the cameras. Her picture graces the pages of society magazines, and before long, others follow her lead, flooding the beach with a plethora of furry fashionistas. But the fashionable lady is not done yet. Next, she dons a tartan beret, complete with a shanter, and once again, the trendsetters rush to copy her every move. The cycle continues, with the lady's latest fashions - from striped swimsuits to polka-dot parasols - inspiring a never-ending parade of imitators. Ghilchik's humorous illustrations poke fun at the fickle nature of fashion and the relentless pursuit of the latest trend. The artist masterfully captures the spirit of the times, as well as the absurdity of a society that seems to be constantly chasing after the next big thing. With its witty commentary and charming visuals, this sequence is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of fashion and the human tendency to follow the crowd. This sequence of illustrations, titled "The Fashioning of a Fad," is a testament to the power of media in shaping popular culture. It is a reminder that, even in the 1920s, fashion trends could spread like wildfire, fueled by the influence of society magazines and the desire to be in vogue. And, as we can see from the endless stream of fashion trends that continue to come and go, the cycle of fashion will no doubt continue to repeat itself for generations to come.
