EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Embracing Modernity: A Young Lady's Daring Choice - Harem Pants Instead of a Hobble Skirt" This postcard, circa 1911, depicts a modern young lady in the throes of embracing the newfound emancipation of women's fashion. In stark contrast to the restrictive hobble skirts that were all the rage during the Edwardian era, she daringly chooses to wear harem pants beneath her skirt, allowing her the freedom to run for the bus unimpeded. The historical context of this image is significant, as the early 20th century marked a pivotal moment in women's fashion. The hobble skirt, with its narrow base that restricted movement, was a symbol of the era's rigid societal norms. However, as women began to assert their independence and challenge these constraints, more practical and comfortable alternatives like harem pants emerged. The young lady in this postcard is a testament to the reforms that were taking place in society. Her courageous decision to wear harem pants, a traditionally orientalist costume, under her skirt, reflects the growing influence of non-European cultures on Western fashion. It also speaks to the spirit of the time, where women were eager to break free from the shackles of convention and embrace a more liberated way of living. Fortunately for this young woman, she made the wise choice not to be encumbered by the restrictive hobble skirt. As she dashes towards the bus, her harem pants allow her the flexibility and ease to keep up with the pace of the modern world. This postcard serves as a reminder of the transformative power of fashion and the role it plays in reflecting and shaping the zeitgeist of a particular era.
