EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the fashionable world of 1910 with this image of a woman showcasing the latest trend in timekeeping - the clocked stocking. In an era where keeping up with the latest fashions was a must, this innovative way of wearing a watch was all the rage. The woman in the photograph wears a dainty, lace-trimmed stocking adorned with a small, ornate clock at the ankle. The clock face is intricately designed, with delicate Roman numerals and a sweeping second hand. The watch strap is securely fastened to the stocking with a charming bow, adding a touch of elegance and femininity to the overall look. The woman's shoes are also noteworthy, with their high heels and intricate buckle designs, adding to the overall fashionable ensemble. Her outfit is completed with a flowing, frilly blouse and a hat adorned with a large, feathered plume. The clocked stocking was a popular fashion accessory during this time, as it allowed women to keep track of the time without having to constantly carry a bulky pocket watch. It was also a symbol of wealth and status, as the intricately designed clocks were often expensive and difficult to produce. This photograph, taken by the Illustrated London News Ltd and published by Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends of the early 20th century. It showcases the creativity and innovation of the time, as well as the importance of staying current with the latest styles.
