EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an early aviation costume designed by Messrs Dunhill in 1909, specifically tailored for women who dared to defy the constraints of societal norms and take to the skies. The innovative design, aptly named a "Lady's Aviation Suit," was engineered to shield its wearer from the biting cold that accompanied early aviation endeavors. The ensemble comprises a divided leather skirt, a practical solution for ease of movement during flight, and a leather jacket. The skirt's extremities were thoughtfully designed to be tucked into the tops of high button boots, ensuring both functionality and fashion. The jacket, a crucial component of the suit, provided essential warmth and protection against the harsh elements. The Lady's Aviation Suit represented a significant departure from traditional women's clothing, as it prioritized utility and adaptability over ornate embellishments. This groundbreaking outfit paved the way for future female aviators, enabling them to focus on their passion for flying without being encumbered by restrictive garments. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the early history of women in aviation, showcasing the determination and courage of those who dared to challenge the status quo and soar among the clouds. The Lady's Aviation Suit by Messrs Dunhill remains an enduring symbol of the indomitable spirit of female pioneers in the realm of aviation.
