EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Lili de Alvarez: The Controversial Divided Skirt Pioneer of Tennis Fashion at Wimbledon, 1931". This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the captivating Spanish tennis player, Lili de Alvarez, as she confidently poses for the camera, showcasing her groundbreaking tennis attire. Dressed in a divisive yet iconic ensemble, Lili's outfit consists of a Schiaparelli-designed divided skirt, or culottes, which caused quite a stir when she wore them at the prestigious Wimbledon Championships in 1931. The fashionable yet functional divided skirt, with its daring split up the middle, challenged the traditional norms of women's tennis attire. The audacious design allowed for greater freedom of movement on the court, enabling players to execute more dynamic strokes and maneuvers. However, it also raised eyebrows and sparked controversy, with some critics and spectators deeming it inappropriate for a lady to bare her legs in such a public setting. Despite the divided opinion surrounding her innovative skirt, Lili de Alvarez continued to wear the design with pride and grace, ultimately paving the way for more modern and practical women's tennis wear. This photograph serves as a testament to her courage and determination to push the boundaries of fashion and athletic performance during the 1930s. The iconic image of Lili de Alvarez in her Schiaparelli divided skirt not only represents a significant moment in tennis history but also embodies the spirit of the Roaring Twenties and the liberating fashion trends of the 1930s.
