EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from April 1948, we are transported back to a time when nylon was the epitome of fashion and luxury. Standing side by side, we see four stylish women making their selections at a Middlesbrough clothing store. On the left, Joyce Meir and Loreine Owens, both in their late teens, eagerly choose fully fashioned stockings made entirely of nylon as their bonus item. Their smiles reflect the excitement and anticipation that came with owning such coveted pieces. On the right, Doreen Jones and Mrs. Doreen Harrington opt for nylon undergarments instead. As they carefully browse through various options, one can only imagine the comfort and allure these garments promised to provide. This snapshot captures not only a moment in time but also showcases how fashion choices were influenced by trends during the 1940s. Nylon had recently gained popularity due to its durability and affordability compared to silk stockings or cotton underclothes. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of how fashion has evolved over decades while still retaining elements of nostalgia. The women's expressions reveal an appreciation for quality craftsmanship and attention to detail that continues to inspire us even now.
