EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1926, three elegant dresses from the renowned French fashion house Lanvin are showcased, each one illustrating the emerging trend of the widening skirt during the Jazz Age in Paris. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties or the Age of Extremes, was a time of radical social and cultural change, and fashion was no exception. The first dress on the left features a slim, straight silhouette with a narrow skirt, reminiscent of the flapper style that dominated the early 1920s. The second dress, in the middle, showcases a more pronounced A-line shape, with the skirt beginning to widen at the hips. The third dress on the right takes the trend even further, with a full, voluminous skirt that flows gracefully around the model. The Lanvin fashion house, founded by Jeanne Lanvin in 1889, was known for its innovative and feminine designs. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of the brand's aesthetic during the 1920s, as the fashion world began to embrace the new silhouette. The dresses are displayed against a neutral backdrop, allowing the intricate details of the designs to take center stage. The photograph captures the essence of the era, with its sense of excitement and experimentation. The widening skirt was just one of many trends that defined the 1920s, as women embraced new freedoms and expressive forms of self-expression. This image serves as a testament to the enduring allure of French couture and the influence of the 1920s on fashion history.
