EDITORS COMMENTS
This advertisement, hailing from the fashionable year of 1920, showcases the elegant and witty designs of Elspeth Phelps. The advertisement, part of a series created by the brilliantly creative Lady Eileen Orde, daughter of the 4th Duke of Wellington, invites us into a world of upper-class sophistication and charm. The image features a stylishly dressed woman, her back turned to us, as she leans against a grand columned building. She wears a stunning Elspeth Phelps design, the intricate details of which are accentuated by the delicate shadows cast by her parasol. The parasol, a quintessential accessory of the era, adds an air of refinement and elegance to the scene. Lady Eileen Orde's clever use of humor and satire is evident in the caption that accompanies the image, which reads, "Why, Miss Elspeth, you're the very picture of propriety!" The playful tone of the advertisement is a testament to the designer's ability to connect with her audience and make fashion an enjoyable and engaging experience. The advertisement is a beautiful example of the artistic and creative spirit of the time, and a reminder of the enduring allure of fashion and its ability to transport us to another era. This image, with its timeless elegance and charm, continues to captivate and inspire us today.
