EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the glamorous world of Royal Ascot in June 1979. The focal point of the image is the enigmatic Gertrude Shilling, who confidently dons an extraordinary ostrich feather hat that demands attention and admiration. As one's eyes wander across the frame, it becomes evident that Gertrude's choice of headwear was a bold statement amidst a sea of more conventional hats. The feathers cascade down like a waterfall, creating an ethereal effect that perfectly complements her elegant ensemble. It is clear that she possesses an innate sense of style and individuality. The monochrome palette adds a timeless quality to the photograph, allowing us to appreciate not only the fashion choices but also the essence of this bygone era. Women dressed impeccably for such prestigious events as Royal Ascot, where horseracing met high society in perfect harmony. This image captures both fun and unusual elements within its composition. Gertrude Shilling's fearless approach to fashion showcases her willingness to push boundaries and challenge societal norms. Her costume-like hat serves as a reminder that fashion can be artful self-expression rather than mere conformity. With each glance at this remarkable photograph, we are reminded of how clothing can transcend its functional purpose and become an extension of our personalities. It invites us to celebrate those who dare to be different while paying homage to an era when elegance reigned supreme on race day at Royal Ascot.
