EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the early 20th century and join us on a journey through the world of fashionable motor millinery as captured in the pages of The Tatler on the 10th of November, 1909. In this stunning photograph, a group of young, elegant women are seen posing with an air of sophistication and excitement, each adorned with a unique and fashionable bonnet. The Edwardian era was a time of great innovation, and the advent of the automobile brought about a newfound freedom for women. The open roads beckoned, and with it came the need for appropriate headwear to shield against the wind and sun. Enter the world of motor millinery, where bonnets reigned supreme. These bonnets were no ordinary headwear. They were works of art, designed to protect and enhance the wearer's style. Feathers, flowers, and intricate trims adorned the bonnets, adding a touch of glamour and whimsy. Ear flaps and cowls provided practical coverage, while the use of netting and veiling added a delicate touch. The women in this photograph exude a sense of adventure and excitement, their bonnets a testament to the spirit of the times. As they travelled the highways in their motor cars, they were not only making a fashion statement but also embracing the newfound freedom and independence that came with the automobile. This photograph is a glimpse into the past, a reminder of a time when fashion and function came together to create something truly unique and beautiful. The world of motor millinery may be a thing of the past, but its legacy lives on, inspiring us to embrace the spirit of adventure and the joy of travel, no matter what the fashion of the day may be.
