EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1915, a fashionable woman dons a striking silk coat, embodying the elegance and resilience of the era. The coat, slim and shapely, was designed to be both fashionable and able to withstand the harsh weather conditions of the time. The silk fabric, with its lustrous sheen, adds to the allure of the outfit, while the addition of a luxurious fur collar and cuffs provides both warmth and an air of opulence. The woman's ensemble is completed with a moujik cap, made of black astrakhan, a type of fine, thick wool often used for fur garments. The high-crowned hat, with its distinctive shape and fur trim, was a typical silhouette of the World War One period. The full skirt and high collar of the coat, combined with the hat, create a classic and dashing look that is both timeless and evocative of the era. This outfit, with its elegant lines and luxurious materials, represents the fashionable and stylish clothing that was popular during the early 20th century. The woman's shape and posture exude confidence and grace, making this photograph a captivating glimpse into the fashionable world of 1915. This photograph, originally published in the Illustrated London News, is a testament to the enduring allure of fashion history and the beauty of clothing from a bygone era. The image is a reminder of the importance of preserving the past, and the continued relevance of fashion as an art form and a reflection of society.
