EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Moment of Reflection: A Parisian Woman Chooses Her Hat in a Fine Serge Suit with Coral Buttons, 1914 This image captures a moment of contemplation in the life of a stylish Parisian woman as she prepares for an outing. Dressed in a fine serge suit adorned with delicate coral buttons, she stands before a mirror, carefully considering which hat will complement her elegant ensemble. The ruching at the waist of her suit adds a feminine touch, while the parasol in the background suggests an upcoming excursion. The woman's outfit, a "costume de serge fine garni de petits boutons de corail," was inspired by the fashionable trends of the Belle Époque and Art Deco periods. The intricately designed hat, with its orientalist motifs and the presence of a butterfly, reflects the influence of the Ballets Russes on Parisian fashion. The image is a handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching, created by Victor Lhuer for Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes in 1914. The woman's refined appearance, with her chic updo and the sophisticated elegance of her attire, exudes an air of Parisian chic that continues to captivate viewers over a century later. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of fashion as an art form and a reflection of the cultural influences that shaped the early 20th century. This pochoir etching is a beautiful example of the intricate detail and vibrant colours that characterized the fashion illustrations of the time. The image invites us to step back in time and appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating these exquisite works. Whether admired for its historical significance or its timeless beauty, this image remains a captivating reminder of the rich fashion heritage of the early 20th century.
