Our purses are emptier. That we can be certain of. The credit crunch has well and truly taken hold of British shoppers, with this years Christmas spending forecast estimated at 17.8 per cent less than last year according to moneysupermarket.com. However, it is not just the content of our clutches which has been influenced by the current financial climate, but their design itself.

Sir Richard Francis Burton would certainly be shocked by this season’s Lurex wet-look bodycon trend. However he would probably be equally surprised by the revived prevalence of a trend he was much more familiar with: the Harem trouser. A curious choice for today’s modern and fashionable woman; the style connotes female subservience and harks back to a long lost period of demureness. The silhouette drifted in from the East during the late 1800’s following the trepidant voyages of Burton and others, and was subsequently promoted in Europe by the French designer Paul Poiret in 1908. The French fashion pioneer used it as inspiration for a rich collection of high-waisted gowns, turbans and brightly coloured overcoats in luxurious fabrics that epitomised the oriental vogue of the era. The premier of Leon Baskt’s Ballet Russes, held in London in 1911, also drew European attention to the Eastern silhouette; boasting costumes inspired by Persian dress. Slowly and surely, early nineteenth century European fashions were being charmed by the lull and sweet song of the East; the style broke free from English stuffiness and eluded to a far more seductive and exotic culture than our young demi-mondelles were accustomed to.
