EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a piece of history from the Second World War, showcasing an advertisement for Burberry women's equipment during WWII. In 1941, Burberry played a crucial role in supplying the British Army with military clothing and accessories, including a range of Auxiliary Service equipment for women.
The image reflects the wartime era with its patriotic call to action for women to join the voluntary service. The advertisement features stylish yet practical uniforms and outfits designed by Burberry, tailored specifically for female members of the Auxiliary Service. These garments were not only functional but also symbolized strength and resilience during a time of great uncertainty and conflict.
As women stepped up to support their country in various roles, from office work to military service, Burberry provided them with the necessary attire that was both durable and fashionable. This historical snapshot serves as a reminder of the important contributions made by women on the home front during WWII.
Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness how fashion intersected with war efforts, highlighting Burberry's significant impact on British wartime supplies. It is a testament to the brand's enduring legacy and its commitment to serving both style and substance in times of need.
