EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and marvel at the striking contrast between Past and Present Fashions, as depicted in this photograph from circa 1910. On the left, a woman from the 1890s dons a voluminous skirt and a muff, her entire body covered from head to toe, barely a hint of her figure visible. The large parasol shields her from the sun, and the tight-fitting corset beneath the layers of fabric leaves little to the imagination. On the right, a woman from the 1910s embodies the spirit of the modern age. Her outfit is a far cry from the heavy, concealing garments of the past. Instead, she wears a revealing, skimpy dress that touches everything but covers nothing. The shift in fashion trends is as dramatic as it is intriguing, reflecting the changing social norms and cultural values of the time. The 19th century's emphasis on modesty and propriety gave way to the 20th century's desire for self-expression and individuality. The tight-fitting, form-hugging silhouette of the 1910s was a bold departure from the voluminous skirts and covered bodies of the past. The transformation in fashion serves as a reminder of the ever-evolving nature of style and the power it holds in shaping our perception of ourselves and the world around us.
