EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the elegant and fashionable 1930s with this stunning advertisement for Harrods page boy outfits, perfect for the upcoming wedding season of 1938. The advertisement showcases a charming scene of young page boys, dressed in silken outfits reminiscent of the Gainsborough era. These outfits, with their frilled collars and Fauntleroy suits, were a popular choice for society weddings during this time. The boys, dressed in their finest, exude an air of innocence and sophistication that is both endearing and timeless. The silken fabric, shimmering in the soft light, adds a touch of luxury and elegance to the scene. The boys' attire, with its high collars and voluminous sleeves, is a nod to the fashionable trends of the era. The advertisement transports us back to a time when weddings were grand and elaborate affairs, filled with pomp and pageantry. The page boys, with their neatly pressed uniforms and polished shoes, were an essential part of the wedding party, adding a touch of formality and tradition to the celebration. Despite their beauty and charm, it is hard not to feel a pang of sympathy for these young boys, who were likely bound to be mentally scarred by the ordeal of wearing such elaborate outfits for hours on end. But, as the advertisement reminds us, the memories of these special occasions would stay with them for decades to come, making the experience all the more worthwhile. This advertisement is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion and traditions of the 1930s. It is a reminder of a time when weddings were grand and elaborate affairs, filled with elegance and sophistication, and when young boys were an essential part of the celebration.
