EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the elegant and radiant presence of Gertrude Lawrence in a beautiful evening gown designed by the renowned fashion designer, Edward Molyneux. The image, taken in 1932, showcases Lawrence in the pale green and russet brown ensemble that she wore in the play "Behold we Live" at the St. James Theatre in London. The intricately designed dress, with its flowing lines and exquisite detailing, perfectly complemented Lawrence's grace and charisma on stage. Molyneux, a leading figure in the fashion industry during the 1930s, was known for his innovative and sophisticated designs that often graced the red carpet and the stages of the most prestigious theatres. This photograph is a testament to the enduring collaboration between the actress and the designer, and a reminder of the elegance and glamour of the 1930s theatre scene." "The dress, with its delicate shade of green and rich russet brown hues, is a prime example of Molyneux's ability to create timeless and elegant designs. The gown's flowing lines and intricate detailing are accentuated by Lawrence's poised and confident posture, making for a truly captivating image. The photograph, taken during a pivotal moment in Lawrence's career, is a reminder of her undeniable talent and the impact she had on the world of theatre and fashion in the 1930s."
