Parasol Shelter Sheltering Shorter Skirts Stylish Tatler Umbrella Wide Fashionable Short Skirt
EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and uncertainties of the First World War, fashion continued to evolve at a rapid pace. In this delightful cartoon from The Tatler magazine, published in 1915, we see Eve, the witty and beloved gossip columnist, providing shelter to her beloved dog Tou Tou and an army officer under the shade of her new, shorter and wider skirts. The pre-war hobble skirt, with its restrictive and constricting design, had been replaced by these more practical and fashionable alternatives. Eve's playful and humorous demeanor is captured perfectly as she effortlessly balances her role as a social commentator and a loving pet owner, all while adapting to the changing times. The officer, with a hint of amusement, looks on as Eve shields them both from the rain with her parasol or umbrella. The cartoon not only showcases the new fashion trends of the era but also offers a lighthearted and humorous take on the challenges and adaptations required during wartime. This charming image serves as a reminder of the resilience and adaptability of both fashion and the human spirit, even in the face of adversity. The shorter, fuller skirts of 1915 may have been a departure from the past, but they paved the way for a new and stylish era. Date: 1915
