Frocks and Thrills - Gowns and Headdresses from Paris 1913
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A captivating glimpse into the world of Edwardian evening wear as depicted in this enchanting photograph from the Illustrated London News Ltd, featuring a selection of stylish women models showcasing the latest trends from the fashion capital of the world. The image transports us back in time to an era of elegance and opulence, where the allure of Parisian haute couture held sway over the fashionable elite. The models, dressed in a variety of captivating outfits, exude an air of sophistication and glamour that continues to inspire and delight. Among the stunning ensembles on display are the lamp-shade skirt, a daring design that features a voluminous, bell-shaped skirt with a narrow waistline and a full, flared hemline reminiscent of a traditional lamp shade. Another intriguing outfit is the Turkish trousers, a bold departure from the traditional floor-length gown, with their high-waisted, wide-legged silhouette and intricate embroidery. The low scaft-belt cloak, with its flowing, draped fabric and cinched waist, adds a touch of drama and mystery to the scene, while the knee skirt, with its demure hemline, offers a more subtle yet equally elegant alternative. Completing the ensembles are a series of striking headdresses, from the elegant toque, adorned with delicate feathers and pearls, to the more extravagant feathered headpieces, which add a playful, whimsical touch to the overall look. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of fashion and the power of Paris to shape the way we dress and see ourselves. It invites us to step back in time and revel in the beauty and elegance of a bygone era, while also serving as a reminder of the timeless appeal of fashion and the joy it brings to our lives.
