EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1910s, a rotund lady, her face etched with the effort of climbing steep stairs, pauses to catch her breath. Her astonishing new attire, a set of harem pants, leaves three gentleman below in a state of amazement and shock. The lady's corseted waist, cinched to an impossibly small size, draws gasps of disbelief from the men, who seem to be unfamiliar with this audacious new fashion trend. The lady's harem pants, a daring departure from the traditional women's clothing of the time, are adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, evoking the exotic allure of the Middle East. Her voluminous bloomers, peeking out from beneath the pants, add an unexpected twist to the outfit. A feathered headdress and a posh, fur-trimmed coat complete the look, making her a vision of opulence and defiance. The door man, standing at the top of the stairs, watches the scene unfold with a mixture of astonishment and amusement. The lady's audacious display of her newfound freedom, embodied in her choice of trousers, was a bold statement of women's rights and the growing movement towards bloomerism. The gasps and shocked expressions of the men below are a testament to the transformative power of fashion and the enduring allure of the unexpected. This photograph, from the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into a time when fashion was a powerful tool for self-expression and social change. The lady's bold choice of harem pants, and the reactions they elicited, serve as a reminder of the enduring power of fashion to challenge societal norms and inspire amazement and wonder.
