EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic charm of Marcelle De Saint Martin, a pioneering figure in the early days of the British film industry. Born in France, De Saint Martin made a name for herself as the head of the costume department at Famous Players Lasky's Islington film studio in 1921. Her innovative designs graced the sets of numerous silent movies produced during the Jazz Age of the 1920s. De Saint Martin's career began in Paris, where she honed her skills as a costume designer for the theater. However, it was her move to London that truly launched her into the limelight. In a male-dominated industry, she proved herself to be a formidable force, leading a team of talented designers and seamstresses to create stunning costumes for some of the era's most iconic films. The photograph, taken in August 1921, captures De Saint Martin in her element, with a thoughtful expression and a keen gaze that suggests the depth of her creativity and dedication to her craft. Her timeless style and elegance are on full display, with her chic bobbed hair and sophisticated attire reflecting the fashion trends of the era. De Saint Martin's work during this period had a significant impact on the history of film design. Her intricate and detailed costumes brought characters to life, adding depth and authenticity to the silent movies of the 1920s. This portrait is a testament to her groundbreaking contributions to the world of film and fashion, and serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of the Jazz Age on popular culture.
