EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated circa 1918, showcases a fashionable woman donning a navy cut costume, inspired by the intense battles at sea during the First World War. The navy blue ensemble, with its fitted silhouette and high waistline, reflects the somber mood of the time, while the addition of a cap adorned with intricate naval sword detail adds a touch of masculinity and a nod to the heroism of the navy personnel. But the most striking accessory in this image is the grim-faced bulldog, proudly displayed at the woman's side. The bulldog, a symbol of strength and tenacity, is dressed in a Tricolour ribbon and a Union flag tied to its tail. This choice of accessory may be a subtle nod to the suffrage movement, as the Tricolour ribbon was a symbol of the Women's Social and Political Union, and the Union flag represented the unity and patriotism of the British people. The suffragettes, who fought for women's right to vote, were a powerful force during this period, and their influence can be seen in various aspects of society, including fashion. The navy cut costume, with its androgynous elements and military inspiration, may have been a way for women to express their support for the war effort and their desire for greater gender equality. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the intersection of fashion, politics, and the wartime spirit of the early 20th century.
