EDITORS COMMENTS
Seldom has the intersection of theatre, fashion, and design been so brilliantly captured as in this 1934 portrait of the esteemed British costume designer, Gordon Conway. With a career spanning across both theatre and film, Conway's innovative and captivating designs graced the stages and screens of the time. In this photograph, Conway is pictured in the pages of The Tatler, a prominent British society and fashion magazine, during the height of her success. The occasion for this feature was her groundbreaking work on the revue, Why Not To-night, which was playing at the prestigious Palace Theatre in London. Conway's influence extended beyond the costumes, as she also designed the scenery sets for this production. Conway's fashionable attire in the photograph reflects the elegance and sophistication of the era, with her chic dress adorned with intricate beadwork and a striking hat that perfectly complements her expressive features. Her keen sense of style is further underscored by her role as a contributor of fashion illustrations to other magazines, including Eve. This image offers a rare glimpse into the life of a visionary artist whose work bridged the worlds of theatre, film, and fashion. Conway's influence on the visual aesthetics of her time continues to resonate, leaving a lasting impact on the creative landscape of the 20th century.
