EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of the 1920s jazz age with English dancer Olivette and her partner Danny Fer, both radiant in their finery. The image was taken in London during 1922, following a successful season at a local ballroom or dance hall. The couple's infectious energy and passion for dance are palpable, as they prepare to dazzle audiences at Deauville, a popular European resort town known for its vibrant social scene. Olivette's youthful beauty and agility are accentuated by her elegant, form-fitting frock, which showcases the latest fashion trends of the era. The intricate beading and sequins on her dress shimmer in the light, reflecting the glamour and opulence of the time. Her partner, Danny Fer, cuts a dashing figure in his tailored suit and bow tie, exuding an air of sophistication and charm. The photograph, published in a world-renowned magazine, offers a glimpse into the world of jazz dance during the 1920s, an era marked by its liberating spirit and innovative art forms. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of dance as a means of self-expression and connection, as well as a reflection of the cultural shifts that defined the era. As we gaze into the past through this portrait, we are transported to a time of excitement, creativity, and boundless possibility – a time when the world seemed to dance to its own beat.
