EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant photograph, Norman Hartnell, the renowned British fashion designer and dressmaker to the royal family, is seen in the company of Marie Freeman-Thomas, Marchioness of Willingdon, at Aix-les-Bains in 1939. The serene lake and picturesque mountains in the backdrop add to the idyllic setting of the scene. Norman Hartnell (1901-1979) was a celebrated figure in the world of fashion, known for his innovative designs and impeccable craftsmanship. He began his career in the early 1920s and quickly gained a reputation for creating exquisite gowns and dresses. His clientele included some of the most prominent women of his time, including the Duchess of Windsor, the Princess Royal, and the Queen Mother. Marie Freeman-Thomas, Marchioness of Willingdon (1875-1960), was a British aristocrat and socialite. She was the wife of the 5th Marquess of Willingdon and was known for her grace and style. The Marchioness was a patron of the arts and a philanthropist, and her elegant appearance in this photograph is a testament to Hartnell's exceptional design skills. The 1930s were a golden era for fashion, and this photograph captures the essence of the times. The elegant dress worn by the Marchioness, with its flowing lines and intricate detailing, is a perfect example of the grace and sophistication of the era. Hartnell's design, with its timeless appeal, continues to inspire fashion enthusiasts even today. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of fashion and high society in the 1930s. It is a reminder of a bygone era, when elegance and style reigned supreme, and fashion was an art form that transcended trends and time.
