EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the elegant and historic occasion of the 1937 Coronation season with this photograph showcasing a selection of hairstyles displayed at the prestigious Mayfair Hotel. Organized by the Incorporated Guild of Hairdressers, these exquisite coiffures reflect the fashion trends of the era, offering a glimpse into the world of 1930s hairdressing. In the foreground, we find a stunning array of hairstyles suggested for wearing with a peeress' coronet. These elaborate coiffures, adorned with delicate feathers and intricate beading, were designed to complement the grandeur of the coronet, which was worn above a light tiara. The intricacy of these styles required a great deal of skill and patience from the hairdresser, making them a true testament to the artistry of the time. Moving to the background, we find an equally enchanting collection of hairstyles suitable for debutantes. These more modest yet still elegant coiffures were designed to accentuate the youthful beauty and grace of the young women making their debut into society. With soft waves and gentle curls, these hairstyles exuded an air of sophistication and charm. The Coronation season was a time of great celebration and opulence, and these hairstyles perfectly encapsulate the spirit of the occasion. Whether adorned with the grandeur of a peeress' coronet or the subtle elegance of a debutante's coif, these hairstyles remain a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and history of the 1930s.
