EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Alfieri, we are transported back to the early 20th century during World War I. The image showcases a group of determined women attending classes at The Northern Polytechnic, where they learn the art of transforming outdated costumes into fashionable creations. Amidst the turmoil of war, these resourceful women not only strive to dress in style but also aim to economize their expenses. With skilled hands and precision, one woman can be seen putting the finishing touches on a hat valued at 21 shillings, which costs only 2 shillings to make. This ingenious approach allows them to embrace fashion trends while being mindful of their limited resources. The photograph symbolizes resilience and adaptability as these women navigate through challenging times with creativity and determination. It serves as a testament to their unwavering spirit amidst adversity. Alfieri's monochrome composition adds depth and nostalgia to the scene, capturing every detail from the sewing needle delicately held in hand to the focused expressions on each woman's face. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we catch a glimpse into an era where ingenuity thrived even in difficult circumstances. This remarkable piece of history reminds us that even during times of hardship, human innovation knows no bounds when it comes to expressing oneself through fashion while finding ways to thrive economically.
