In this print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to May 1940, where a young woman exudes elegance and charm. Dressed impeccably in a stylish suit, she confidently poses for the camera with an air of sophistication that is truly timeless. Her choice of attire showcases the fashion trends of the 1940s, highlighting the impeccable tailoring and attention to detail that defined this era. The suit perfectly accentuates her figure while maintaining a sense of modesty and refinement. Paired with a hat that adds a touch of glamour, she effortlessly embodies both grace and confidence. The portrait captures not only her external beauty but also hints at her inner strength and resilience during what was undoubtedly a challenging time in history. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of how fashion can be an expression of individuality even amidst adversity. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office under Ref. No. Garland N19288, this photograph allows us to appreciate the artistry behind capturing such moments in time. It invites us to reflect on our own personal style choices while paying homage to those who came before us – individuals like this smartly dressed young lady who left an indelible mark on their generation through their impeccable taste and unwavering spirit
