EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the elegant and playful spirit of the Advertising Ball held in 1920, an annual event where the advertising industry came together to celebrate creativity and innovation. In the foreground, Miss Lily St. John, representing The Tatler magazine, dazzles in a replica costume of an eighteenth-century gentleman. The intricately detailed frock coat, complete with a tricorn hat adorned with a feather, a monocle, and a cane, symbolizes the brand's commitment to tradition and refinement. By her side, the radiant Evelyn Laye, representing its sister magazine, Eve, graces the scene in a stunning costume created for her by the renowned Harrods department store. The delicate fabric, elegant beading, and flowing train of her dress exude an air of sophistication and glamour, embodying the modern and feminine essence of Eve. The Advertising Ball was a much-anticipated event in the industry calendar, and the competition for the best costumes was always fierce. Miss St. John's impressive portrayal of an eighteenth-century gentleman earned her the first prize in Class L, a testament to her dedication and creativity. This image not only showcases the fashionable and imaginative costumes but also highlights the camaraderie and excitement that pervaded the Advertising Ball, making it an unforgettable night for all involved.
