From the elegant blue dress paired with a 1922 beer to the stylish coat adorned by a Fox Terrier in 1927, each garment carries its own tale. Lady golfers flaunt their fashionable outfits while swinging on the green, showcasing both athleticism and style.

Meanwhile, a vintage photograph captures a golfing woman in 1907, showcasing timeless elegance on the course. A dilapidated wall in Havana serves as an unlikely canvas for Che Guevara's mural - an iconic image that has weathered years of change.

Swinging fashions take center stage in early 19th-century society as women embrace freedom and movement with their attire.
