EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from 1918, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the transformation of women's fashion during wartime. The two emancipated women in the photograph are depicted in a modified silhouette, with skirts beginning to take on the barrel-line shape that would become popular in the post-war era. The skirts are narrower than previous years, and the women are seen wearing both court shoes and high boots, reflecting the changing trends of the time. The women's hats, too, have undergone a transformation. One woman wears a tam-o-shanter hat, while the other dons a high-crowned hat, both styles popular during this period. The windy weather is suggested by the papers blowing in the pavement, adding a sense of movement and energy to the scene. The women's outfits also include Breton shirts, a fashion trend that emerged from the French navy and became popular among the working classes and the avant-garde. The women's newfound freedom and independence are reflected not only in their fashion choices but also in their confident posture and the way they hold their hats against the wind. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends of 1918, a time of great social and cultural change. The women's modified silhouette, with its narrower skirts and high boots, represented a departure from traditional gender roles and a step towards greater equality and independence. The image is a reminder of the power of fashion to reflect and shape the cultural zeitgeist of a particular time and place.
