Private Lives
EDITORS COMMENTS
at the Phoenix Theatre in 1930 was not only a groundbreaking play by Noel Coward, but also a fashion event, with the star-studded cast and the stylish designs on stage drawing equal attention from the audience in the stalls. Among the most talked-about fashion moments was Gertrude Lawrence's stunning wardrobe, created by the renowned designer Edward Molyneux. In this photograph, Gertrude Lawrence is seen reaching for a cigarette in a tense scene from the play, her expression reflecting the complex emotions of her character. The actress wears a breathtaking gown by Molyneux, a master of elegant and sophisticated designs. The dress, a perfect blend of modernity and glamour, features a low-cut neckline, a fitted bodice, and a voluminous skirt that cascades gracefully to the floor. Molyneux and Lawrence had a long-standing creative collaboration, with the designer dressing the actress in numerous productions throughout the 1920s and 1930s. Their partnership resulted in some of the most iconic and memorable looks of the era, setting trends and inspiring fashion enthusiasts. The fashion scene during "Private Lives" was a reflection of the times, with the Roaring Twenties giving way to the more subdued and refined 1930s. The audience was treated to a visual feast of chic gowns, tailored suits, and elegant accessories, all expertly crafted by Molyneux and his team. The play's fashion moments were not just confined to the stage, with the stalls buzzing with women eager to emulate the looks of their favorite stars. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer for The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News, captures the essence of the fashionable world of "Private Lives" and the enduring collaboration between Gertrude Lawrence and Edward Molyneux. The image is a testament to the power of fashion to enhance and elevate the theatrical experience, making it an essential part of the storytelling process.
