EDITORS COMMENTS
This wartime advert for Dolcis shoes from 1943 features an empowering image of women serving in the Women's Royal Naval Service. The photograph showcases two stylish and confident WRNS members wearing the fashionable Dolcis footwear, which includes trendy two-tone cubit flats with lace-up details.
During a time when women were stepping into roles traditionally held by men, this advert not only promoted stylish shoes but also celebrated the important contributions of female service members during World War II. The women in the image exude strength, determination, and grace as they proudly serve their country while maintaining a sense of style.
The Dolcis brand cleverly aligns itself with the spirit of patriotism and empowerment embodied by these WRNS members. This advert serves as a reminder of the resilience and courage displayed by women on the home front during times of conflict.
As we look back at this piece of history captured in a simple shoe advertisement, we are reminded that fashion has always been intertwined with social change and progress. The timeless elegance and sophistication depicted in this image continue to inspire us today.
