EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a young woman from the early 20th century, circa 1913, adorned in an elegant and fashionable outfit that embodies the sophistication and allure of the era. The woman wears a narrow-fitting skirt that accentuates her slender figure, paired with a high-necked blouse that adds a touch of modesty and refinement. Over her blouse, she dons a full-length coat with black lapels and turned-back cuffs, which not only keeps her warm but also complements the overall look of the ensemble. The pièce de résistance of her attire is the broad-brimmed hat with plumes, a timeless accessory that was a staple of women's fashion during this period. The hat's high crown and wide brim create a dramatic silhouette, while the plumes add a playful and whimsical touch. The woman completes her look with a glass locket pendant, which dangles delicately from a thin chain around her neck. The Merry Widow hat, as this style was commonly known, gained popularity after the premiere of the operetta "Die lustige Witwe" (The Merry Widow) by Franz Lehár in 1905. The operetta's leading lady, Hanna Glawari, wore a hat with a similar design, and the fashion quickly spread throughout Europe and the United States. This photograph is a captivating snapshot of history, transporting us back to a time of elegance, sophistication, and glamour. The young woman's expression exudes confidence and charm, making this image a true treasure for anyone interested in fashion history.
