EDITORS COMMENTS
This advertisement from 1936 showcases the beauty and innovation of Courtaulds Rayons, a groundbreaking fabric that defied traditional categories. Once known as artificial silk, the name "rayon" was adopted to reflect its unique identity as a miraculous thread born from science and manufacturing prowess. Rayon was no longer an imitation or a mere substitute; it had set new standards in the realm of luxury wear. The advertisement emphasizes the durability and value of rayon, positioning it as a superior choice for both men and women's garments. From underwear to outerwear, and from dresses to suits, rayon emerged as a versatile and essential fabric for various silhouettes. The man in the advertisement exudes confidence and elegance, while the woman embodies grace and sophistication, both dressed in stunning rayon garments. British company Courtaulds, the pioneers of rayon production, showcased their commitment to quality and innovation through this advertisement. Rayon's allure extended beyond its ability to mimic silk; it represented a new era of textile technology and design. The 1930s, often referred to as the thirties or the 30s, was a decade marked by significant advancements in various industries, and the textile sector was no exception. Courtaulds Rayons was a testament to the boundless potential of science and manufacturing, offering a new standard of luxury, durability, and value for consumers.
