EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland Collection, housed at the West Sussex Record Office, takes us back to July 1944. The image showcases two young women in head and shoulder shots, exuding elegance and poise. Dressed in contemporary clothes of the era, their fashion choices reflect the prevailing trends of the 1940s. The first lady's attire features a chic checkered pattern that adds a touch of sophistication to her ensemble. Her hair is impeccably styled with soft waves cascading down her shoulders, while her makeup highlights her natural beauty with subtle hues that enhance her features. Beside her stands another woman whose fashion sense is equally remarkable. She dons an outfit that perfectly captures the essence of 1940s style - refined yet fashionable. Her hair is flawlessly coiffed into an intricate updo adorned with delicate accessories, showcasing meticulous attention to detail. Complementing this impeccable hairstyle is a flawless makeup look emphasizing her eyes and lips. These portraits not only capture these ladies' individuality but also serve as a window into the fashion and style prevalent during this significant period in history. They remind us of how clothing choices can be expressions of personal identity while reflecting broader societal influences. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's invaluable records collection, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an era defined by its distinctive fashion sensibilities – one where glamour met practicality amidst wartime constraints.
