EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless elegance and glamour of Hollywood star Ruth Hussey as she dons a stylish suit ensemble designed by the renowned costume designer Dolly Tree for the 1940 MGM film, "Flight Command." At the height of her career, Hussey exudes confidence and sophistication in this smart suit, complete with a crisp blazer, fitted trousers, and a chic silk blouse. The suit's sleek design, accentuated by the cinched waist and peplum detail, is a testament to Tree's innovative and forward-thinking approach to costume design. The jazz age influence is evident in the suit's bold lines and modern cut, making it a perfect fit for the film's narrative set against the backdrop of the 1940s aviation industry. Hussey's character in "Flight Command" is a strong and independent woman, and this suit encapsulates her intelligence, wit, and style. The photograph is a stunning representation of the intersection of fashion and film during this era, showcasing the influence of Hollywood on the wider cultural landscape. Dolly Tree's groundbreaking work in costume design for MGM during the 1940s helped to define the look of Hollywood glamour and set the standard for future generations of costume designers. This photograph is a testament to her vision and the enduring impact of her designs on the world of fashion and film.
