EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the First World War, fashion continued to evolve, much to the chagrin of some. In this image from 1915, a fashionably-dressed woman exudes elegance and sophistication, defying the harsh realities of war. The soft, flowing lines of her wide skirt and blouse, adorned with delicate lace and intricate embroidery, stand in stark contrast to the somber times. Despite the ongoing conflict, the fashion world persisted in its pursuit of innovation. "There's a lot of talk, of course, about the wickedness of changing the fashions in the middle of the war," wrote one observer. "All the same, there's been a simply awful lot of exaggeration about these same new fashions and wide skirts." The woman's hat, adorned with a delicate veil and feathers, adds a touch of whimsy and frivolity to her ensemble. Her shoes, with their high heels and pointed toes, reveal a hint of the flapper spirit that was soon to emerge in the post-war era. Yet, despite the criticism, the fashion industry remained a beacon of hope and beauty in the midst of the chaos and uncertainty of war. The woman in the image embodies the spirit of resilience and determination that defined the era, proving that even in the darkest of times, the human spirit could find a way to express itself through art and fashion. This evocative photograph, taken by Illustrated London News Ltd and featuring the model Mary Evans, offers a glimpse into the world of fashion during the First World War, a time when the simple act of dressing up could provide a moment of escape and joy amidst the turmoil of war.
