Fashion of Lanna Women (1900–1910)

The fashion of Lanna women during the early 1900s to 1910 reflects the Edwardian influences blended with traditional Thai aesthetics. This era marked the late reign of King Chulalongkorn and the early reign of King Vajiravudh.

Lanna women embraced the upswept hairstyles, a popular Edwardian trend, often adorned with pins, flowers, or decorative accessories. Their blouses featured Victorian-inspired high collars, lace, and puffed sleeves, paired elegantly with the traditional phasin, a tubular skirt woven with vibrant patterns unique to Lanna culture.

About the Colourisation:

I colourised these photographs with bright, vivid tones to evoke a sense of playfulness and creativity. While the colours of the pha-sin, blouses, and accessories may not be historically accurate, they aim to bring a fresh perspective to the elegance of the period.
