Women's Fashion, Evening Gown by Lucile, 1921
Entitled: "Woman modeling evening gown by Lucile at the Spring Fashion Show of the National Retail Garment Association held at the Commodore Hotel by Lucile." Lucy Christiana, Lady Duff-Gordon (June 13, 1863 - April 20, 1935) was a leading fashion designer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, best known as "Lucile", her professional name. Lucile, the first British-based designer to achieve international acclaim, was a widely acknowledged innovator in couture styles as well as in fashion industry public relations. Apart from originating the "mannequin parade", a precursor to the modern fashion show, and training the first professional models, she launched liberating slit skirts and low necklines, popularized less restrictive corsets and promoted alluring and pared-down lingerie. Photographed by Underwood & Underwood, 1921.
