EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a fashionable women's outfit from the autumn of 1914, as featured in The Tatler magazine. The ensemble, inspired by Celtic design, is composed of a checked or tartan material skirt suit and a matching cape and cap, created by the renowned Parisian fashion houses Maison Lewis and Maison Dolnillet. The Tipperary costume, as it came to be known, was a striking style that gained popularity in both Paris and London during the early stages of World War I. The tartan fabric, with its bold, geometric patterns, added an air of tradition and sophistication to the outfit, making it a favorite among fashion-forward women. The skirt suit consists of a fitted bodice and a full, pleated skirt, both adorned with the intricate checked pattern. The cape, which is worn draped over the shoulders, adds an elegant and protective layer, perfect for the cool autumn weather. The matching cap, with its distinctive checked band, completes the look and pays homage to the Celtic influence. The Tipperary costume represented a departure from the more traditional, feminine styles of the time and showcased the bold, confident spirit of the women of the early 20th century. This striking outfit, with its timeless design and historical significance, continues to captivate fashion enthusiasts and historians alike, offering a glimpse into the fashion trends of a bygone era.
