EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1921, we are transported to the bustling streets of London where a group of Hawaiians can be seen indulging in some retail therapy at Selfridge's. Amongst them stands Mr Kamaki Pahu, his face etched with doubt as he contemplates whether he can afford to purchase the luxurious fur coat on display. The image captures a unique moment in history, showcasing the cultural exchange between Hawaii and Europe during the interwar period. The Hawiians' presence in London is a testament to the growing global connections that were being forged at that time. The fashion choices of both men and women depicted here reflect the trends of the roaring twenties - an era known for its exuberance and flamboyance. The women don stylish flapper dresses while adorned with feathered headpieces, embodying the spirit of liberation and rebellion against societal norms. Notably, this photograph also highlights dancers within their midst, suggesting that these individuals may have been part of a performing troupe or perhaps simply enjoying their time off from entertaining audiences. Alfieri's masterful composition transports us back in time, allowing us to witness this intriguing intersection of cultures. It serves as a reminder that even amidst economic uncertainties between wars, people sought solace through fashion and self-expression. This print truly encapsulates an extraordinary moment frozen in monochrome beauty.
