Description
A fine day on the Prom, between rain and gales.
This most unusual garment caught my eye for two reasons:
1. It wasn't a cold day
2. It has a unique design and was obviously extremely expensive when new.
I doubt that it is a modern garment.
The lady might be a Russian Jewess, what do you think?
(Bournemouth has a very large Jewish population).

Very well captured with beautiful sea background.
Cool portrait a Lady!
VENUS IN FURS ? Fantastic juxtaposition of warmth and cold, wealth and poverty, happiness and loneliness. The gear shes wearing must cost a mint, even the handbag is Fur. Superb crop, light and compo. popped into Fav´s
Perhaps she is on her way back from a shop lifting trip!!
Scalloped edge beaver coat, edged with fitch, and a blue fox hat. I made such garments when I was a master furrier. between the years of 19 72-79 Never know, this could be my handy work here :)
what a marvelous portrait of this lady. she is certainly from europe .. and seemingly stuck in a time period other then ours. 40s maybe? if there's a large jewish population from russia in your area, i'd say you were right. and she was lucky to escape alive with her furs from there. she appears old enough to have experienced the holocaust in europe. even the dress that hangs below the coat appears very old. i just love this picture
Gorgeous pic and coat
How very interesting! To have seen such an outfit, and to have had the presence of mind to take a picture for us ... wonderful. And then there's Ronnie. !!! Who knew??
I also was thinking Russia. Jewish, not so much but who knows? Definitely a figure out of time. A terrific image.
Even her dress/skirt underneath is different???
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
Kind of funny scene :)
A bit over dressed I'd say.
Interesting scene. It would be cool to learn her story...
I don't know about her being Jewish, but she has Russian written all over her in this fabulous capture of the young lady, as she strolls the promenade, ostentatiously clad in unusual garb for that particular milieu, Andrea. Maybe she just craves attention. And, love the color and lighting effects.
do look cool on her. wonderful image.
def. 'eastern'. 1 doesn't see that so often nowadays! looks like the real stuff. i happen to have a coat of the same 'material', without the scaloped edges. my warmest, xtremely dense. remains of a bear??? :'-((( and guilty, yes, i'm a veggie. animals are for us to LOVE, not wear!!!!! remarkable pic, wonderful capture!!
I see children in short sleeves and she may be over dressed. It is a beautiful coat and she may be going somewhere that takes her away for the evening. She may need the extra warmth on the way home!
...and I think she has a pair of dolphin skin shoes, adorned with genuine Harp seal laces!
Maybe she is the type that gets cold easy lol but a very interesting image of this coat.
evident, she is what you think... has been au pair as young girl there... (40 years back!!)
Maybe she's in costume for something; or maybe she has some disorder that causes her to feel really cold all the time? At any rate, what an interesting sight to see!
An amazing capture, that is some coat she is wearing. Great capture
