EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the avant-garde Artists Costume Ball held at the Princes Galleries in February 1914. The image is filled with an array of futurist costumes, each more radical and modern than the last. The guests, eager to embrace the latest artistic movements, donned these daring outfits, many of which were purchased from the esteemed department store, Marshall and Snelgrove. The futurist costumes, with their geometric shapes, bold colors, and abstract designs, were a stark contrast to the traditional, ornate attire typically worn to such events. The guests' faces are obscured by masks, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to the already captivating scene. The Tatler, a prominent society magazine of the time, commented on the radical nature of the costumes, expressing surprise that such avant-garde fashion could be found in the windows of Marshall and Snelgrove. This photograph serves as a testament to the groundbreaking impact of the futurist movement on the arts and fashion scene in early 20th century London. The Artists Costume Ball was not just an evening of fancy dress, but a bold statement of artistic intent, where the guests dared to challenge convention and embrace the future.
