EDITORS COMMENTS
This image graces the front cover of The Sketch magazine's January 1929 issue, featuring the enigmatic Marchesa Nadja Malacrida, portrayed by the talented Olive Snell. Born Louisa Nadia Green, the Marchesa was the cherished daughter of Mr and Mrs Charles Green and the beloved niece of Lord Cowdray. In 1922, she wed the renowned society decorator, Pier Malacrida Saint-August, ushering her into the elite circles of London high society. The Marchesa's residence in Mayfair was a sensation, with its unusually decorated interiors that reflected her eclectic taste and avant-garde sensibilities. Her severe coiffure, with its cropped, sleek lines, accentuated her striking features and became a trademark of her unique style. The Sketch magazine celebrated her charm and allure, noting her intriguing persona that transcended the traditional roles of a Marchesa. Nadja Malacrida was not just a society figure; she was an aviator, a writer, and a broadcaster, captivating audiences with her daring exploits and thought-provoking words. Her unconventionality and independence were a breath of fresh air in the staid world of high society, making her a figure of fascination and intrigue. This portrait, with its timeless elegance and allure, is a testament to the Marchesa's enduring legacy and the captivating allure of the Roaring Twenties.
