Marlene Dietrich: A Lesson in Grand Style

This was the epoch of the 1930s and 40s - an era of “grand style“ - of fur, of duchesse satin, of embellishment, of carefully selected costume jewellery. This was top to toe glamour without anything left to chance. It was an art form encapsulating not just sartorialism but a whole way of being - from lighting and smoking a cigarette, never stepping outdoors without a hat and getting into a car. Miss Dietrich and a bygone age of supreme elegance.

My aim - to bring a touch of old world class and glamour to the everyday. “Having taste - it’s not half the battle - it’s the whole war“ “Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use“ for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
