EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, titled "Fur Collar 1938: Collar in Sable Australian Opossum with Bow Fronts," offers a captivating glimpse into the fashionable world of the past. The image showcases an elegant collar made from the finest sable Australian opossum fur, a luxurious and highly sought-after material during the late 1930s. The collar's intricate design features two graceful bow fronts that add an air of sophistication and refinement. The opossum, an Australian marsupial, was widely used in the fur trade during this era due to its soft, dense, and lustrous fur. The sable color, with its rich, dark hue, was particularly popular among the fashion elite, as it provided a sleek and elegant contrast against lighter clothing. The collar's historical significance lies in its representation of the opulence and extravagance of the pre-World War II era. The 1930s were a time of economic prosperity and social upheaval, with many people seeking to express their wealth and status through their clothing and accessories. Fur collars, like the one depicted in this photograph, were considered symbols of luxury and glamour. The collar's design also reflects the influence of European fashion trends on the Australian fashion scene during this period. European designers, such as Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli, popularized the use of fur collars and other fur accessories in their collections, and Australian designers and consumers followed suit. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of fashion and the role that Australia, and its unique natural resources, played in shaping the styles and trends of the past. The Fur Collar 1938: Collar in Sable Australian Opossum with Bow Fronts is a beautiful and intriguing artifact of a bygone era, and a testament to the enduring allure of fur and its place in fashion history.
