Following the Fashion
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a satirical print from 1794, showcasing two women admiring the latest fashion trends. The tall, slim woman on the left is titled "St. Jamess giving the Ton," while the short, plump woman on the right is labeled "Cheapside aping the mode." This print, created in Britain and available through Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a commentary on the social hierarchy and class distinctions of the time. The woman on the left, "St. Jamess giving the Ton," is depicted as an elegant, graceful figure, representing the fashionable elite who reside in the fashionable district of St. James. She is shown wearing the latest fashion trends, demonstrating her wealth and status. The title "giving the Ton" refers to her setting the standard for fashion and being a trendsetter. On the other hand, the woman on the right, "Cheapside aping the mode," represents the lower classes who try to emulate the fashionable elite. She is shown in a disheveled, exaggerated version of the latest fashion, highlighting the absurdity of her attempts to imitate the upper class. The title "Cheapside" refers to the commercial district in London, known for its marketplaces and affordable goods. The print serves as a critique of the social divide between the classes and the futility of the lower classes trying to keep up with the latest fashion trends. The use of burlesque, or exaggerated and distorted representations, adds to the satirical tone and emphasizes the absurdity of the situation. Overall, "Following the Fashion" is a fascinating glimpse into the social dynamics and fashion trends of the late 18th century in Britain.
