EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Chic Afternoon on the Golf Course: A Woman in a Loosely Pleated Toile Suit, 1912" This image transports us back to the early 20th century, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of a woman playing golf in a loosely pleated toile suit. The photograph is an exquisite hand-colored pochoir (stencil) etching after an illustration by Bernard Boutet de Monvel, published in Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes in Paris in 1912. The woman in the photograph is dressed in a chic ensemble that embodies the Art Deco and Belle Epoque styles. She wears a midi-length manteau (coat) in a dapper kaki (olive green) color, made of high-waisted drap beige (beige gaiters) guêtres (gaiters), and a plis creux en toile (plis creux is a French term for a specific type of pleating) blouse in a lemon yellow (citron) toile fabric. Her outfit is completed with a felt hat, adding a touch of orientalism to her look. The loosely pleated toile suit was a popular fashion trend during this era, offering both comfort and style. The suit's relaxed fit allowed for ease of movement, making it an ideal choice for active pursuits such as golf. The woman's manteau, with its elegant draping and distinctive buckle detail, adds a sense of refinement and sophistication to her outfit. This photograph is a testament to the fashionable Parisians of the time, who embraced the latest trends and incorporated them into their daily lives. The image also reflects the influence of the Ballets Russes, which brought a renewed interest in Eastern influences and exoticism to European fashion. Overall, this photograph captures the essence of a chic and stylish afternoon on the golf course during the Belle Epoque era.
