Fashion Looks Ahead: Dream of Fair Women Ball, 29th February 1928, Claridge's This photograph captures the essence of the Dream of Fair Women ball held at Claridge's on 29th February 1928. The event, organized in aid of the Winter Distress League, showcased fashion looks from the present, past, and years ahead. In the foreground, Faith Celli dons a striking nun's habit from the year 1980, her regal posture and serene expression embodying the timeless allure of religious garb. Nearby, Baba Beaton, dressed as the bride of 2028, captivates with her futuristic ensemble, a daring blend of bold colors and innovative textures that hint at the fashion trends to come. The huntswoman of 1960, Rosalie Willoughby, is accompanied by her loyal Bedlington terrier, Winkie. Her elegant frock, complete with a fitted bodice and full skirt, exudes a sense of grace and sophistication, while the terrier adds a playful touch to the scene. May Vickers, as the bather of 1960, brings a touch of whimsy to the event, her flowing white gown and parasol evoking images of sunny days spent by the poolside. In the background, Mrs Archie Campbell, dressed in her going-away dress from 1940, awaits her aeroplane honeymoon, her joyful expression and chic ensemble embodying the excitement and optimism of the era. Mrs Bendix completes the lineup as a lovely modern bride, her simple yet elegant gown and veil reflecting the understated elegance and sophistication of the 1920s. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of fashion, showcasing the captivating transformations that have shaped the industry over the decades.
