EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the Mary Evans Picture Library transport us back to the Edwardian era of 1907, showcasing an intriguing ensemble that defies typical sartorial conventions. The central figure wears a cut-away frock coat, a garment more commonly associated with women's fashion of the time. However, this coat, with its structured shoulders, narrow waist, and long, double-breasted design, bears a striking resemblance to a morning coat. The man pairs the coat with striped trousers, displaying a crisp front crease, lace-up shoes, a wing collar, and a bow tie. The addition of a bowler hat completes the ensemble, adding an air of sophistication and nonchalance. The setting further enhances the scene, with the man standing in a conservatory surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flowers. The historical significance of this photograph lies in the subversion of gender norms through fashion. The cut-away frock coat, traditionally worn by women, challenges the notion of gendered clothing and demonstrates the fluidity and adaptability of fashion during the Edwardian period. The combination of the coat with more masculine elements, such as the striped trousers and bowler hat, adds to the intrigue and complexity of this image. The rich detail and high-quality resolution of this print from Mary Evans Picture Library make it an invaluable resource for historians, fashion enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the history of men's fashion during the Edwardian era. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, inviting us to explore the intricacies of fashion and its role in shaping societal norms.
