EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from October 1952, we are introduced to the enchanting Miss Shirley Galley. At just 19 years old, she exudes elegance and sophistication as "The Velvet Girl" of London. Dressed in a remarkable creation by Mary Donan Ltd. , Miss Galley wears a dress made entirely out of 60 years' worth of paper face tissue. Every inch of her attire showcases the ingenuity and creativity that defined fashion in the 1950s. The delicate hat, designed by Madge Chard, adds an extra touch of glamour to her ensemble while perfectly complementing the intricate details on her dress. Fausta's gloves complete the look with their impeccable craftsmanship. Miss Shirley Galley stands tall as a model and mannequin for this stunning photograph. Her poised demeanor captures the essence of gracefulness that was highly sought after during this era. This image transports us back to a time when clothing was not merely functional but also an art form—a testament to human imagination and skill. It reminds us how fashion has always been intertwined with self-expression and individuality. As we admire this timeless snapshot from Mirrorpix's Memory Lane Prints collection, let it serve as a reminder that beauty can be found in even the most unexpected materials—like paper face tissue transformed into an exquisite gown fit for royalty.
