EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Tallulah Bankhead, the American stage and screen actress, in a series of fashionable ensembles from the 1927 production of "The Garden of Eden" at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London. The production, an adaption of the novel by Robert S. Hichens, marked Bankhead's West End debut. In this image, she exudes an air of sophistication and allure, embodying the spirit of the Jazz Age and the 1920s. Bankhead's outfits in the production were designed by the renowned British couturier, Lucile, who was known for her elegant and innovative designs. The actress is seen wearing a variety of chic and stylish looks, including a stunning red gown with a deep V-neckline and a voluminous black skirt and white blouse. The intricate beading and fringing on the red gown add a touch of glamour and opulence, while the black and white ensemble showcases the trend of the era for contrasting colors and bold geometric patterns. The photograph was taken in June 1927, during the height of Bankhead's popularity. At the age of 22, she was already making a name for herself as a talented and captivating performer. The image is a testament to the fashionable and historic significance of the 1920s, a decade marked by cultural and social change. This photograph is a valuable piece of history, capturing the essence of an iconic actress and the fashion trends of the era.
