The Orientalism of the European Woman
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph from the year 1913, showcasing a group of fashionable women in an unspecified European city, adorned in veils and animal furs. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the cultural intrigue and appropriation that characterized the early 20th century. During this time, the West was deeply fascinated by the exotic allure of the East, a phenomenon known as Orientalism. This fascination manifested in various ways, including fashion trends that saw European women adopt elements of Middle Eastern and North African cultures. In this photograph, we see women wearing veils that cover their noses and mouths, reminiscent of the yashmak veil commonly used in the Middle East. However, it is important to note that these women are not from the East, but rather from Europe, and they are abandoning the traditional use of the veil in favor of this fashionable adaptation. The photograph also highlights the prevalent use of animal furs, particularly fox furs, which were considered luxurious and desirable. The dead animals are displayed as skins, showcasing the stark contrast between the living beings of the East and the fashionable accessories of the West. The women in the photograph are engaged in conversation, their faces hidden behind their veils, creating an air of mystery and intrigue. This image provides a fascinating insight into the complex interplay of culture, fashion, and power during the 1910s. The adoption of Eastern elements by European women was a form of cultural appropriation that both reflected and reinforced the dominant position of the West in global power dynamics. The photograph also highlights the role of fashion as a means of expressing identity and desire, as well as the enduring allure of the exotic and the mysterious.
