EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a historic and iconic Tango outfit from the year 1913. The Tango, an Argentine dance known for its passionate and sensual movements, required a unique attire that allowed for freedom and ease while dancing. This outfit, made up of a skirt and a pair of Turkish trousers, was specifically designed to meet those needs. The skirt, with a bold thigh-high slit, was worn over the Turkish trousers, which were held at the ankle by a delicate band of crystal beads. The trousers, imported from the Middle East, added an exotic and alluring touch to the ensemble. The matching blouses were designed to be loose and flowing, giving the illusion of falling off the dancer's body, adding to the seductive nature of the dance. The Tango outfit of 1913 was a significant departure from the traditional, more modest attire of the time. It represented a bold and daring embrace of the sensuality and freedom that the Tango dance embodied. The crystal beads and Turkish trousers were not only functional, but also added an element of glamour and elegance to the outfit. This photograph is a rare and valuable glimpse into the history of Tango fashion, showcasing the evolution of the dance and the unique outfits that accompanied it. The Tango trouser, with its daring design and exotic influences, remains an iconic symbol of the passion and allure of the Tango dance.
