EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from 1919, a young and elegant woman proudly displays her latest acquisition to her matronly friend. The coat, trimmed with luxurious monkey fur, is a statement piece that exudes opulence and glamour. The young lady's face is filled with excitement and anticipation as she confidently asserts, "This coat suits me perfectly, doesn't it?" Her friend, who appears overweight and matronly, looks on with a skeptical expression. The contrast between their ages, body types, and fashion sensibilities creates an intriguing dynamic. The young woman's outfit is completed with a stylish turban and shoes adorned with cross-over ribbons, reminiscent of ballet slippers. The interior setting of the photograph adds to the overall charm of the scene, with French-inspired decor and an ornate mirror reflecting the women and their surroundings. The monkey fur trim, a trend that was popular during the Roaring Twenties, adds a touch of exoticism and allure to the young woman's ensemble. Despite the apparent disapproval of her friend, the young woman remains steadfast in her belief that the coat is a perfect addition to her wardrobe. The image captures the essence of the era, where fashion was a form of self-expression and a means to flaunt one's individuality. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of fashion and friendship during the 1910s. The use of monkey fur, once a controversial and divisive trend, adds an intriguing layer to the story, highlighting the complexities of fashion and the role it plays in shaping our identities.
