1860 Attire Bryan Buckingham Crinoline Diana Fancy Guinness Hosts Mariette Mitford 1860s 1929 Year
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the essence of a bygone era as Mr. and Mrs. Bryan Guinness (1905-1992) entertain their guests in Victorian finery at their Buckingham Street residence in London during the summer of 1860, or so it seems. The year was actually 1929, but the couple's dedication to the theme of their extravagant party ensured that every guest arrived dressed in authentic 1860s attire. Mr. Guinness, a prominent figure in London society, and his wife, the captivating Diana Mitford, are seen here in their most elegant regalia. Diana's Mariette Crinoline, a voluminous skirt with a bell-shaped silhouette, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Victorian era. Her husband, impeccably dressed in a tailcoat and top hat, complements her beautifully. The couple's home, a magnificent edifice in London, was transformed into a time machine, transporting their guests back to an era of elegance and refinement. The atmosphere was filled with the scent of roses, the sound of a string quartet, and the gentle clinking of crystal glasses. The 1920s, a decade of flapper dresses and jazz music, saw an unexpected resurgence of interest in the Victorian era, and this party was a testament to that fascination. The guests, all dressed in their finest Victorian attire, reveled in the experience, creating a magical night that would be remembered for years to come.
