EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures the enigmatic Countess de Segonsac, a prominent leader of high society, in a truly unique setting. Here we see her surrounded by the inhabitants of her very own monkey farm, an endeavor she maintains for the sole purpose of enhancing her exquisite wardrobe. Dressed in an opulent velvet coat and skirt adorned with the unmistakable touch of monkey fur, which she herself introduced to France, the Countess exudes both elegance and audacity. Her fashion choices reflect not only her impeccable taste but also her willingness to push boundaries and embrace unconventional materials. Taken on January 10th, 1923, this black and white portrait showcases not just a woman of style but also a personality that defies societal norms. The image encapsulates an era where fashion was intertwined with individuality and self-expression. This photograph is part of Central News' collection that delves into Europe's rich history through monochrome imagery. It serves as a testament to how personalities like Countess de Segonsac shaped their own distinctive styles while leaving indelible marks on fashion trends. As we admire this remarkable snapshot from the past, let us appreciate its artistic value without mentioning any commercial use or affiliations with specific companies. Instead, let it transport us back in time to witness one woman's boldness in creating her own path within both farming and fashion realms – forever etching herself into history's tapestry.
