EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph graces the cover of the prestigious Sketch magazine in 1927, featuring the enigmatic Spanish tennis player, Lili de Alvarez. Known for her exceptional skill on the court, Lili's impact on the sporting world extended far beyond her game. In 1931, she made headlines when she dared to defy convention by wearing bold and shocking culottes designed by the renowned Italian fashion designer, Elsa Schiaparelli, during the prestigious Wimbledon Championships. The audacious choice of attire was a radical departure from the traditional tennis attire of the time, which consisted of long skirts or divided skirts. Lili's daring fashion statement sparked controversy and debate, with some hailing her as a trailblazer and others criticizing her for breaking with tradition. Regardless of the opinions, Lili's bold move brought attention to the importance of individual expression and the role of fashion in sports. Lili's career in tennis began in the late 1920s, and she quickly rose to prominence with her powerful serve and agile footwork. Her innovative spirit extended beyond her game, as she was known for her love of art, literature, and music. This cover image captures the essence of Lili's unique personality and her groundbreaking impact on both the world of tennis and fashion. The photograph is a testament to the power of individuality and the enduring influence of fashion on popular culture. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of tennis and fashion in the 1920s, and a reminder of the courage and vision of Lili de Alvarez, a true pioneer in her field.
