EDITORS COMMENTS
The Eton Crop: Beloved of the Moderns, Detested by the Old. (1927) This striking photograph captures the essence of the Eton Crop, a revolutionary hairstyle that epitomized the spirit of the Roaring Twenties. Worn here by a Lucien Lelong mannequin, the short, cropped haircut defied the traditional long locks that had been the norm for decades. The Eton Crop, also known as the "shingle cut," was a symbol of emancipation and modernity. It was named after the traditional boys' school in England, Eton College, where the short back and sides hairstyle had been popular among students. But when it was adopted by women in the 1920s, it caused quite a stir. The modern woman embraced the Eton Crop as a sign of freedom and independence. It was a rejection of the feminine ideal of long, flowing locks and a celebration of the newfound liberation that came with the flapper era. The short haircut was not only practical, allowing women to dance the Charleston without worrying about their hair, but it was also a bold statement of self-expression. However, not everyone was a fan of the Eton Crop. Many older generations and traditionalists saw it as a sign of immodesty and a rejection of femininity. They believed that women should keep their hair long and wear it in a more demure style. But the moderns were undeterred, and the Eton Crop became a symbol of the new era. This photograph, taken in 1927, captures the essence of the Eton Crop and the spirit of the modern woman who wore it. The Lucien Lelong mannequin, with her short, cropped hair, exudes confidence and independence. She is a testament to the emancipated woman of the 1920s, who refused to be bound by the conventions of the past.
