This photograph, taken in 1930, showcases a practical yet stylish Jupe-Pantalon tennis dress designed by the visionary Elsa Schiaparelli for Schiaparelli's haute couture collection. The dress, crafted from a light white woollen weave, features a waist belt of vibrant orange tussore silk, adding a pop of color and sophistication to the monochromatic ensemble. The Jupe-Pantalon style, characterized by its culottes or divided skirt, was a revolutionary departure from traditional tennis attire. This design, which allowed for greater freedom of movement, was quickly adopted by the Spanish tennis star, Lili de Alvarez. In 1931, she wore this very dress at Wimbledon, causing a sensation on and off the court. The Jupe-Pantalon dress represented a modern, functional approach to fashion, embodying the spirit of the 1930s. Its innovative design challenged the conventions of the time, paving the way for a new era in tennis fashion. This photograph, an exclusive Bystander image from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the timeless allure of Schiaparelli's groundbreaking design and Lili de Alvarez's daring spirit on the tennis court.
