EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, Princess Jean-Louis de Faucigny-Lucinge, formerly known as Liliane (Baba) d Erlanger, is elegantly posed against a richly textured background. The image, taken by acclaimed photographer Olive Snell for The Tatler in 1925, showcases the sophistication and allure of this high society figure during the Roaring Twenties. Born in 1899 in Paris, Liliane d Erlanger was a renowned socialite and a prominent figure in the European aristocracy. Her striking beauty and charisma earned her the nickname "Baba," which stuck with her throughout her life. In this portrait, she wears an exquisite gown that accentuates her slender figure and shimmering complexion. Her expressive eyes and confident posture exude an air of mystery and intrigue, making this a truly captivating image. The 1920s were a time of great social and cultural change, and the upper class women of this era embraced new trends and freedoms. Liliane d Erlanger embodied the spirit of this era, pushing boundaries and defying conventions. Her bold fashion choices, including her signature bob hairstyle, made her a fashion icon and a muse for designers and photographers alike. This portrait by Olive Snell is a testament to the glamour and allure of the 1920s and the women who defined the era. It is a reminder of a time when fashion, beauty, and social status were intertwined, and when the lives of the wealthy and influential were the stuff of legend. Today, it stands as a timeless reminder of the power and allure of femininity and the enduring appeal of the past.
