EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1931, Owen Nares and Isabel Jeans gracefully embody the allure of fashion and the stage in an advertisement for Aquascutum Limited. The image, which is now a historical treasure, showcases Nares in the leading role of "Counsels Opinion" at the Strand Theatre, wearing an elegant Aquascutum coat. The coat, with its timeless design and luxurious fabric, adds an air of sophistication to Nares' character, making it the perfect accessory for his theatrical performance. The symbiotic relationship between fashion and the stage during the 1930s was a significant phenomenon. The theatre acted as a catwalk for many leading designers and brands, providing them with an unparalleled platform to showcase their creations to a large and diverse audience. In this advertisement, Aquascutum brilliantly capitalized on this trend, using the theatrical setting to highlight the versatility and appeal of their coats. Isabel Jeans, Nares' co-star in "Counsels Opinion," is also featured in the photograph, as she playfully steals the Aquascutum coat from Nares. This charming interaction between the two actors not only adds a touch of drama to the advertisement but also underscores the idea that fashion is a shared experience, one that can be enjoyed and appreciated by both men and women. This photograph, with its timeless elegance and captivating storytelling, is a testament to the enduring relationship between fashion, the stage, and the magic of the theatre. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the artistry and creativity that has shaped our cultural landscape.
