EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "The Modern Girl" by Reginald E. Higgins, showcases the fashionable and daring spirit of the 1920s through the image of a stylish and modern woman. The artist, Higgins, was known for his depictions of the "shorn and shingled" flapper girls of the era, and this image is no exception. The subject of the photograph wears the fashionable Eton crop hairstyle of the mid-twenties, a bold departure from the long, flowing locks of previous decades. Her hair is swept back, revealing her face and drawing attention to her striking features. The woman in the photograph is also dressed in some rather loose-fitting silk lingerie, a testament to the changing attitudes towards women's fashion and body image during this time. The lingerie, while still modest by today's standards, was considered daring and provocative in the 1920s, reflecting the growing liberation and empowerment of women. The title of the photograph, "Silk and shingle," perfectly encapsulates the essence of this modern, fashionable woman. The silk lingerie she wears is a luxurious and sensual contrast to the rough texture of her shingled hair. The combination of these contrasting elements further emphasizes the dichotomy of the flapper image – a woman who is both modern and feminine, daring and alluring. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of fashion and the cultural shifts that took place during the 1920s. The image of the modern girl, with her short hair and daring fashion choices, continues to inspire and captivate us today, reminding us of the power and influence of fashion in shaping our cultural identity.
