EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of determination and community during the tumultuous period of the First World War. The image features Hazel Lavery, wife of renowned Irish painter Sir John Lavery, dressed in a stunning Lucile gown for a unique charity event held in 1917. Known as Petticoat Lane, this innovative fundraiser brought together various society ladies who modeled in a mannequin parade to display fashionable gowns designed by the celebrated designer, Madame Lucile. These elegant dresses were then given away as tombola prizes, providing a much-needed distraction and source of excitement for the war-weary public. Hazel Lavery's graceful appearance in this tableau is particularly noteworthy, as she is depicted as the artist herself, adding an intriguing layer to the scene. The photograph captures the essence of the era, with its elegant yet understated fashion and the unmistakable sense of camaraderie among the women. The image is a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the British people during the Great War, as they came together to support one another and raise much-needed funds for the war effort. Madame Lucile, whose real name was Lady Duff Gordon, was a prominent figure in the fashion world of the time. Her designs were sought after by the elite, and her influence extended beyond the realm of haute couture, as she was also a prolific writer, artist, and even designed uniforms for the Red Cross during the war. This photograph is a testament to her enduring impact on the fashion industry and her role in the charitable endeavors of the time.
