"Wing Collar: A Timeless Fashion Statement Across Eras and Campaigns" From the presidential campaign posters of Charles E. Hughes in 1916 to his vigorous campaigning during the election, the wing collar has been a symbol of sophistication and style. This iconic accessory adorned gentlemen at races, as depicted on the front cover of Monsieur magazine in March 1921. As Charles Evans Hughes walked from Union Station in Washington DC between 1913-7, his distinguished appearance was enhanced by this classic collar choice. The elegance it exudes is further exemplified through Edward Atkinson Hornel's oil painting capturing its allure. Not limited to American politics, this fashion staple transcends borders and eras. Akseli Gallen-Kallela's black-and-white photograph from 1890 showcases how this collar has stood the test of time across different cultures. The wing collar not only graced political figures but also found its place among artists' subjects. James Henry Leigh Hunt's engraved portrait captures a timeless charm that resonates with those who appreciate refined aesthetics. Even beyond portraits, George Bellas Rothera's oil painting and Thomas Paul Sandby's canvas demonstrate how this collar complements various artistic expressions throughout history. Its influence extended beyond formal occasions; Diplomatischer Tee advertisement from Styl magazine published in 1922 showcased suits by Fasskessel U. Muntmann paired with the wing collar for an effortlessly chic look. And let us not forget Johann Harms immortalized in "A Portrait of the Artist's Father-in-Law. " His dignified presence is elevated by donning this timeless accessory, reminding us that true style knows no boundaries or limitations. Whether adorning politicians on campaign trails or adding an air of refinement to artistic masterpieces, the wing collar remains an enduring symbol of elegance throughout history – a testament to its everlasting appeal.
