EDITORS COMMENTS
In the vibrant and intriguing world of early 20th century fashion, few pieces have captured the public's imagination quite like the Translucent X-ray Skirt of 1913. This groundbreaking garment, a Parisian-made striped creation, caused a sensation when it was first worn on Broadway at Luna in Coney Island by a Bath Beach Girl. The sheer, translucent nature of the skirt, which seemed to offer a glimpse into the wearer's body beneath, was a daring and provocative departure from the modest and opaque clothing of the time. The excitement surrounding the Translucent X-ray Skirt was palpable, with Suft Avenue becoming blockaded as crowds gathered to catch a glimpse of the fashionable woman wearing the controversial skirt. The police were soon called to restore order, and the wearer was forced to make a hasty escape in a taxicab. This photograph, taken by the Illustrated London News Ltd and featuring the image of the Translucent X-ray Skirt, offers a fascinating glimpse into the bold and daring fashion trends of the 1910s. The era, sandwiched between the Edwardian and World War I eras, was a time of great social and cultural change, and the Translucent X-ray Skirt was a symbol of the newfound freedom and liberation that women were experiencing. Despite the controversy surrounding the skirt, it represented a shift towards more revealing and sexually charged fashion, paving the way for the flapper dresses and shorter hemlines that would come to define the Roaring Twenties. This photograph, with its image of the Translucent X-ray Skirt and the Bath Beach Girl who wore it, serves as a reminder of the power of fashion to challenge societal norms and inspire excitement and intrigue.
