EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "An Athenian Woman of Fashion (B. C. 600-468)" by Herbert Norris, takes us back to the ancient world of Greece in the 5th century BC. The image is a part of Norris' book "Costume & Fashion - The Evolution of European Dress Through the Earlier Ages", published in 1924. In this mesmerizing portrait, we see a stunning Athenian lady with her arms gracefully outstretched. She exudes elegance and sophistication through her carefully chosen attire and hairstyle. Her long hair is adorned with intricate ringlets that cascade down her shoulders, framing her face beautifully. Dressed in an exquisite cloak, she embodies the epitome of ancient Greek fashion. Her clothing reflects both style and status within Athenian society during that era. With a gaze looking downwards, she captivates our attention while also hinting at an air of mystery surrounding her. Herbert Norris's illustration skillfully captures the essence of this woman's allure and poise. Through his work, he transports us to another time and place where fashion was not merely about clothing but also represented cultural identity. As we admire this remarkable piece from the 1920s, we are reminded of how fashion has evolved over centuries yet continues to be an integral part of human expression across continents. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with historical costume and its impact on contemporary dress styles today.
