EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the elegance and opulence of 1913 with this stunning photograph showcasing two fashionable outfits for women, each adorned with the luxurious fabrics of velvet and fur. On the left, a blue velvet gown with a border of soft, plush fur is paired with a vest made of delicate muslin. The gown's corsage is finished with intricate Oriental embroidery and small buttons, adding an exotic touch to the ensemble. This elegant gown is completed with a smart velvet hat and a sizable sable muff for added warmth and sophistication. On the right, a walking dress made of draped velvet is accentuated with a tunic trimmed in lush fur. The vest of the tunic is adorned with embroidered motifs, adding a touch of refinement to the outfit. A large, sable muff and a stylish velvet hat complete this fashionable look. These outfits, designed by Bourniche and Drecoll respectively, represent the height of fashion in 1913. The use of luxurious fabrics like velvet and fur, intricate embroidery, and elegant accessories were popular choices for women seeking to make a statement. Despite the early 20th century being a time of war, fashion continued to be a source of joy and expression for women, as seen in these beautiful outfits. This photograph is a testament to the timeless beauty of fashion history and the enduring appeal of classic styles. The velvet gowns and furs may have been popular over a century ago, but their allure and elegance continue to captivate us today.
