EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Changes in Fashion between 1914 and 1915" by Fish, offers a humorous yet insightful look into the dramatic shift in fashion trends that occurred during the early years of World War I. The cartoon illustrates the stark contrast between the pre-war sack and hobble skirt styles worn by women and the new flared skirts and military details that emerged in 1915. The tango nut of 1914 is depicted with a martial air, while Eve dons a military-inspired outfit. The gentleman companion, once dapper in top hat and tails, has transformed into a uniformed soldier in khaki. This visual representation of fashion evolution during this period underscores the profound impact that the war had on societal norms and personal styles. The cartoon serves as a testament to the rapid and influential changes that occurred in the realm of fashion as a result of the Great War. The print, dated 1915, offers a unique perspective on the historical context of the time and the various factors that shaped the fashion landscape. It is a fascinating reminder of the transformative power of historical events on everyday life and personal expression. This charming and thought-provoking piece is a must-have for anyone interested in fashion history, World War I, or the social and cultural shifts that took place during this period.
