EDITORS COMMENTS
The Dolly Sisters, Jenny (left) and Rosie (right), dazzle in their exotic Persian costumes in this 1921 photograph by Max Weldy. Taken during their residency at the League of Notions, a popular cabaret venue in London, the sisters' outfits were a testament to the age's fascination with the East and the allure of the unknown. The Dolly Sisters, Hungarian-born performers, were known for their tandem acts and their flair for fashion. Their Persian costumes, adorned with intricate beadwork, shimmering fabrics, and ornate headpieces, added an air of mystery and glamour to their performances. The sisters' style was a perfect fit for the jazz age, an era defined by its bold experimentation and rejection of traditional norms. The photograph captures the sisters in mid-pose, their bodies poised and ready to take the stage. Their expressions are playful and full of energy, hinting at the lively and entertaining performances that awaited the audience. The sisters' outfits, with their rich colors and intricate details, stand out against the muted background, drawing the viewer's eye and capturing their attention. The photograph is a testament to the sisters' talent as performers and their ability to captivate audiences with their unique style and charisma. It also serves as a reminder of the era's fascination with the exotic and the allure of the unknown, as well as the role that fashion played in shaping the cultural landscape of the 1920s.
