EDITORS COMMENTS

Elegantly embracing the past and present, Humber Sceptre takes us on a journey through time. Inspired by the captivating artwork of David Wright, 'Golden Girl' and 'Powder Monkey', we are reminded of the intricate connection between politics and colonialism. A young man in a suit, effortlessly reclining on a couch or kneeling with confidence, exudes an air of sophistication that transcends societal norms. Meanwhile, 'The Girl In The Cabaret' by Suzanne Meunier captures the allure of mystery and sensuality in her veiled Turkish beauty gazing into an oval mirror. As we delve further into fashion history with illustrations from The Sphere and Courtaulds Ltd Advert Photograph, we witness how elegance has evolved over time. Finally, raising our glasses to 1911's iconic hotspot Maxim's in 'DRINKS AT MAXIMs', we celebrate the timeless charm found within these elegant moments captured throughout history. Like a woman with a fan delicately concealing her emotions yet revealing her gracefulness, elegance remains eternally captivating.
