EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of fashion resilience during a time of great adversity: World War One. Taken in 1916, the image showcases two elegant ladies proudly modeling the latest fashion for coats, titled "Les Vestes Courtes," or "The Short Coats," against a plain backdrop. The war had brought about significant changes in women's fashion, with practicality and functionality becoming priority over ornate and extravagant designs. The ladies' attire in this photograph embodies the new trend of shorter coats, which allowed for greater freedom of movement and ease in carrying out daily tasks. The coats, made of heavy wool fabric, were designed to keep the wearer warm during the harsh winter months, a necessity in the cold European climate. The simple yet chic appearance of the coats was also a reflection of the austere times, with luxury and excess being set aside in favor of simplicity and practicality. The image is a testament to the enduring spirit of fashion and the ingenuity of designers in adapting to the changing times. The ladies, with their confident and poised demeanor, exude an air of sophistication and defiance in the face of war. Their fashionable attire may have been a small comfort in the midst of the larger conflict, but it served as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, beauty and style could still be found. This photograph is an invaluable historical record of a pivotal moment in fashion history, offering a glimpse into the lives of women during the First World War and their determination to maintain a sense of normalcy amidst the chaos of war.
