EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1909, showcases two elegant women dressed in fashionable and tailored suits, a trend that was gaining popularity during the Edwardian era. The first woman wears a chasseur green serge suit, braided in black, with a coat that is cut to the shape of a tunic and features a kilted skirt with prominent pleats. The coat's high neckline adds a sophisticated touch, while the toque hat adorned with a bow completes the outfit. The second woman's ensemble is carried out in mulberry cloth, with revers and buttons of black satin, adding a rich and luxurious feel to her attire. The coat's long and full length, paired with the high neckline and long sleeves, exudes an air of refinement and elegance. These suits were a departure from the traditional corseted and restrictive garments of the time, offering women a newfound sense of freedom and comfort. The tailored suits became a symbol of the changing role of women in society, as they began to enter the workforce and assert their independence. The intricate details of the women's outfits, from the braiding on the first suit to the satin buttons on the second, demonstrate the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating these fashionable garments. The use of high-quality fabrics, such as serge and mulberry, further emphasizes the luxury and sophistication of these Edwardian-era outfits. This photograph offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the early 1900s and the changing role of women in society during this time. The tailored suits worn by these women continue to inspire and influence fashion today, serving as a reminder of the elegance and sophistication of the Edwardian era.
