EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1926, a trio of elegant women gracefully pose in their original tennis frocks at the Reunions d'ete event held at the Racing Club in the heart of Paris's Bois de Boulogne. The scene transports us back to the Jazz Age of the 1920s, an era of flapper dresses, Charleston dances, and the liberation of women's fashion. The women's tennis frocks, designed specifically for the occasion, epitomize the refined yet playful spirit of the time. Each frock boasts a unique and intricate design, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of French haute couture. The first dress features a bold, geometric pattern in shades of blue and white, while the second dons a delicate floral motif in soft pastels. The third frock is adorned with a striking, abstract pattern in black and gold, adding a touch of sophistication and drama to the ensemble. The women's outfits are not only stylish but also practical for their sporting activity. The tennis frocks are designed with lightweight, breathable fabrics to allow ease of movement on the court. The fitted bodices and full skirts provide both support and freedom, enabling the women to play with grace and agility. The Reunions d'ete at the Racing Club in the Bois de Boulogne was an annual social event that brought together Parisian high society for a day of tennis, dancing, and fashion. This photograph captures the essence of the occasion, showcasing the timeless beauty and elegance of the 1920s tennis frocks and the women who wore them with pride and panache.
