EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Barbara Goalen gracefully strides down the runway, her figure accentuated by the elegant lines of an evening dress designed by Victor Stiebel. The dress, made of cotton, is a stunning departure from the traditional materials commonly used for formal wear during the 1950s. The Cotton Board of Manchester, a prominent organization in the cotton industry, commissioned this photograph to showcase the versatility and sophistication of cotton as a fabric for high-end fashion. The image captures the essence of a pivotal moment in fashion history, as designers began to explore new possibilities beyond the traditional use of heavy, expensive materials like silk and velvet. Stiebel's innovative design, featuring a sleek, form-fitting silhouette and a subtle sheen, demonstrates the allure and elegance that cotton could bring to the world of evening wear. Barbara Goalen, a talented model of her time, exudes confidence and poise as she presents the dress to the audience. Her expression and posture convey the sophistication and glamour that the design exudes. The photograph, taken at a fashion show, is a testament to the groundbreaking collaboration between the Cotton Board, Manchester, and Victor Stiebel, which challenged conventional norms and paved the way for a new era in fashion. A closer look at the image reveals intricate details, such as the delicate fur collar that adds an element of luxury to the cotton fabric. The combination of the modern material with a classic design element highlights the forward-thinking nature of Stiebel's creation. This photograph, with its rich history and significance to the fashion and textile industries, is a must-have for any collection focused on mid-century fashion and textile history.
