EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting Dolly Sisters, Jenny (left) and Rosie (right), in their bridal attire as they graced the stage of the New Oxford Theatre in London during their 1921 performance. The sisters, hailing from Hungary, were renowned for their unusual and exotic tandem acts, which combined elements of cabaret, jazz, and vaudeville. Their striking outfits, designed by the renowned French fashion designer Paul Poiret, were a testament to the bizarre and glamorous fashion trends of the 1920s. Poiret, a pioneer of the era's avant-garde style, outfitted the sisters in voluminous, feather-adorned hats and headpieces that seemed to defy gravity. The sisters' bridal gowns featured intricate beading, embroidery, and fringe, adding to their allure and making them a sensation among the flappers and performers of the Jazz Age. The sisters' age and unique style made them an unusual pair, but their infectious energy and charisma drew audiences in. Their performance at the New Oxford Theatre was a testament to their ability to captivate and entertain, and their bridal attire remains a symbol of the extravagance and glamour of the 1920s. This photograph, from the Jazz Age Club Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the world of the Dolly Sisters and the extraordinary fashion and entertainment of the era. It is a reminder of a time when the unexpected and the unusual were celebrated, and when the stage was a place of wonder and excitement.
