EDITORS COMMENTS
An alluring image from the Roaring Twenties, this advertisement features Lady Elspeth Phelps, formerly Lady Violet Manners, in an ethereal moonlit scene. Once the wife of Hugo Francis Charteris, Lord Elcho and heir to the Earl of Weymss, Lady Elspeth is seen donning a stunning, intricately beaded flapper dress designed by the renowned fashion house of Elspeth Phelps. The masquerade-inspired mask adds an air of mystery and allure to her already enchanting presence. Lord Elcho tragically lost his life in action on 23 April 1916, leaving Lady Elspeth to carry on in the public eye. This advertisement, published in February 1920, showcases her resilience and her continued dedication to the world of fashion. The starry night backdrop and the delicate play of light and shadow create an atmosphere of glamour and sophistication, perfectly encapsulating the spirit of the era. The advertisement for Elspeth Phelps' fashion designs, with Lady Elspeth as the muse, was a testament to her grace and elegance, even in the face of adversity. The mask, reminiscent of the masquerade balls that were all the rage during this time, adds an element of intrigue and excitement, making this advertisement a true standout in the annals of fashion history.
