EDITORS COMMENTS
This image graces the front cover of The Sketch magazine from 1919, showcasing the enduring appeal of the stripe trend that swept through the fashion world following the success of dazzle camouflage during the First World War. The parasol, a quintessential accessory of the era, is artfully decorated with bold, zebra-like stripes that mirror the patterns seen on military ships during the conflict. Yet, the stripes don't stop at the parasol - the anonymous lady's legs are adorned with equally striking hosiery, adding an unexpected yet delightful twist to the trend. The combination of the parasol and stockings creates a dazzling visual effect that encapsulates the spirit of the times. This cover serves as a testament to the power of fashion to inspire and influence, even in the aftermath of war.
