EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Bathing Suit Fashion Police" we are transported back to the vibrant Atlantic City of 1921. The scene unfolds on a sunny day at the beach, where three fashionable women proudly showcase their newest bathing suits. However, stealing the spotlight is a dubious and curious police officer who seems determined to measure the hemlines of these daring outfits. As fashion evolves with each passing decade, these swimsuits push boundaries and challenge societal norms. Will they be deemed decent? Only time will tell! Spectators gather around, intrigued by this display of risqué beachwear that pushes against traditional conventions. The image captures an era when Annette Kellerman, a trailblazing Australian swimmer and actress, fought for women's freedom in swimwear. Her influence can be seen in these bold designs worn by confident women who dare to defy expectations. This historic photograph not only showcases the evolution of fashion but also offers us a glimpse into daily life during the 1920s in America's bustling North Atlantic coast. With its monochromatic charm and horizontal composition, it transports us back in time to witness both fashion trends and policing practices of yesteryears. Preserved by Underwood Archives from Universal Images Group (UIG), this vintage print serves as a reminder that fashion has always been an expression of individuality and rebellion against societal norms - even under watchful eyes like those of our curious policeman.
