Anglaise Beneath Brazen Broderie Daring Dresses Harem Pants Scandal Trousers Tunic Waisted Boue Masculine
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in fashion history that caused quite the scandal - the introduction of daring harem pants or Turkish trousers by Boue. In 1911, these edwardian-era garments were considered brazen and provocative, as they could just be seen peeking out from beneath high-waisted tunic dresses worn by women.
The juxtaposition of the masculine Turkish pants with the feminine tunic dresses created a bold and unconventional look that challenged societal norms. The intricate broderie anglaise detailing on the tunics added an extra touch of elegance to this controversial ensemble.
Despite the controversy surrounding them, these harem pants represented a shift towards more comfortable and practical clothing for women during this time period. They symbolized freedom and liberation from restrictive Victorian fashion ideals.
As we gaze upon this historical image, we are reminded of the power of fashion to push boundaries and provoke thought. The combination of traditional Turkish elements with Western dress styles creates a unique blend that is both visually striking and culturally significant.
Let us celebrate the daring spirit of those who dared to wear such scandalous attire, paving the way for future generations to express themselves through their clothing choices.
