EDITORS COMMENTS
Senorita Lili de Alvarez, the Spanish tennis sensation, is captured in this historic photograph as she takes to the hallowed grass courts of Wimbledon in the 1930s. The image shows Alvarez in the midst of a fierce rally, her focused expression a testament to her determination on the court. But what really sets this photograph apart is the groundbreaking fashion statement she makes. Daringly defying the traditional norms of women's tennis attire, Alvarez wears a pair of divided trousers, or culottes, designed by the renowned Italian fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli. These innovative garments, with their bold split design, caused a fashion sensation both on and off the court. However, despite turning heads with her stylish and unconventional outfit, Alvarez's tennis prowess was not enough to carry her through to victory. In this photograph, we see her locked in a fierce battle with British player, Dorothy Round, who ultimately prevailed in their second-round match. This image not only captures a pivotal moment in the history of women's tennis fashion but also serves as a reminder of the courage and determination of Lili de Alvarez, who dared to challenge the status quo and make a bold statement on the world stage.
