EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous aftermath of the First World War, Paris emerged as the global hub of fashion innovation and reinvention. In the peace year of 1919, the City of Light began to embrace the new shapes and silhouettes that would come to define the 1920s. This image from The Sketch provides a glimpse into the fashionable world of Paris in this transformative era. At the center of the page, French actress Gaby Deslys stands out in a striking spotted dress and shoes, her outfit reflecting the playful and unconventional spirit of the times. The dress to her right, which would soon become a ubiquitous sight on the streets of Paris and beyond, appears almost alien in its shapelessness. With no clear waistline or defined curves, this tubular style challenged the traditional feminine silhouette, offering a bold and daring alternative. Despite its seemingly effortless appearance, achieving this shapeless look was no small feat. The tubular style required women to wear corsets that cinched their waists and pushed their breasts up towards their collars, creating an androgynous effect. The dresses themselves were often made of lightweight materials like crepe or jersey, which clung to the body and accentuated every curve. As the world adjusted to the new normal in the aftermath of the war, fashion became a powerful symbol of hope and renewal. Paris, with its rich cultural heritage and unwavering commitment to artistic expression, led the charge into the modern age. This image serves as a testament to the transformative power of fashion and its ability to reflect and shape the zeitgeist of a generation.
