EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history when the enigmatic Queen of Siam, also known as Queen Saovabhakasini, defied traditional gender norms by wearing trousers during her incognito travels in Europe in 1907. The Queen, who was accompanying her husband, King Chulalongkorn of Siam (Thailand), on his visit to London, is seen here dressed in an official attire that deviated from the conventional feminine garments of the time. The Queen's outfit, consisting of a long-sleeved blouse and high-waisted breeches, was a testament to her bold and progressive approach towards fashion. This regal ensemble was a reflection of the unique style of the Siamese royalty, which blended Eastern and Western influences. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the life of this remarkable woman, who ruled as Queen Regent of Siam from 1868 to 1873 and continued to wield significant influence even after her husband's ascension to the throne. Her decision to travel incognito, dressed in trousers, was a bold statement of her independence and power. The Queen of Siam's fashion choice challenged the societal norms of the time, and this photograph serves as a reminder of her trailblazing spirit and her enduring legacy. The image, taken in 1907, is a testament to the Queen's unwavering commitment to her identity and her refusal to conform to the expectations of others. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection that celebrates the history of women, royalty, and fashion.
