EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1913, showcases the distinctive Japanese influence on women's afternoon frocks during this era. The image features a female model gracefully wearing an elegant afternoon dress, which bears the unmistakable mark of Eastern inspiration. The dress, with its flowing lines and subtle draping, is reminiscent of the traditional Japanese kimono. The garment's bodice is fitted and adorned with intricate japanned designs, mimicking the intricate patterns often found on authentic kimonos. The sleeves, long and flowing, are a nod to the traditional Japanese garment, while the hemline falls just below the knee, adding to the overall refined and feminine appearance. The model accessorizes the dress with a delicate sash, tied in a bow at the waist, which further emphasizes the Japanese influence. The sash adds a sense of balance and harmony to the ensemble, as well as a touch of exotic allure. The European fashion scene of the early 20th century was deeply influenced by the Eastern world, and Japan, in particular, left a lasting impact on women's clothing. This photograph is a testament to that influence, capturing the beauty and elegance of the fusion between Eastern and Western styles. The result is a stunning and timeless piece that continues to inspire fashion designers and enthusiasts to this day.
