Brimless Cuffs Ensemble Fitting Gathered Gossips Loose Melancholy Muff Narrows Promenading Skirt Trimmed Waist Short
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from 1918 showcases a woman in a fur-trimmed ensemble, perfectly embodying the elegance and melancholy of the post-World War I era. The loose-fitting brown jacket, gathered in at the waist, is adorned with a high fur collar and cuffs, adding an air of sophistication and warmth. The short, full skirt, which narrows at its fur-trimmed hem, accentuates the graceful silhouette of the wearer. Accessories include a fur muff, providing both style and practicality against the chill, and a brimless hat, which completes the refined look. The woman's expression suggests a quiet contemplation, as if she is deep in thought or engaged in a conversation with fellow gossips while promenading along the cobblestone streets. The use of fur in women's fashion during this time was a symbol of luxury and glamour, despite the ethical concerns surrounding its sourcing. This ensemble, with its timeless design and luxurious materials, encapsulates the spirit of the Roaring Twenties, a decade of change and renewal following the hardships of the war. This evocative photograph, taken in 1918, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of vintage fashion. It is an essential addition to any collection showcasing the history of women's fashion or the social and cultural context of the early 20th century.
