EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Alfieri in August 1931, takes us back to the glamorous era between the wars. The image showcases a scene at Harrods, the iconic department store in London, where over 5,000 valuable furs are stored for their esteemed customers. The photograph exudes an air of sophistication as rows upon rows of long coats hang elegantly on coat rails. It is a visual testament to the opulence and grandeur that characterized this period. Men and women can be seen browsing through these luxurious furs, perhaps contemplating which one will become their prized possession. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the image, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance even today. This snapshot from the 1930s offers a glimpse into a world where fashion was not just about functionality but also about making a statement. Alfieri's skillful composition captures both the scale of Harrods' cold storage facility and the intricate details of each fur coat. The photograph serves as a reminder of how fashion has evolved over time while also highlighting Harrods' enduring reputation as an institution synonymous with luxury. As we admire this remarkable piece of Europeana photography from almost a century ago, it transports us back to an era when indulgence knew no bounds and style reigned supreme.
