EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland Collection, housed at the West Sussex Record Office, transports us back to a bygone era of elegance and sophistication. Dated 19th January 1944, it showcases a young woman exuding timeless style in her exquisite suit adorned with fur trimmings. Her fashion choices reflect both the opulence and practicality of the 1940s. The woman's ensemble is meticulously put together; her fur muff and hat add an extra touch of glamour to her already impeccable outfit. The furs not only provide warmth during those chilly winter days but also serve as symbols of status and luxury. In this portrait, we witness a snapshot of history where fashion was used as an expression of individuality amidst challenging times. Despite the backdrop of war-torn Europe, this young woman stands tall with confidence and grace, embodying resilience in the face of adversity. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder that even in tumultuous periods, beauty can still be found. It allows us to appreciate how fashion has always played an integral role in our lives – reflecting societal values while providing solace or escape from harsh realities. Preserved within West Sussex County Council's archives, this photograph captures not just one woman's style but also encapsulates an entire era defined by its unique blend of fashion and fortitude.
