Wedding Ensemble

1937

This outfit of dress and matching cloak was worn by Constance Kingcombe at her marriage to Henry Ordewer at the West London Synagogue on May 23rd, 1937. It was acquired, together with a photograph of the bride and groom (see Additional Images) and a copy of the wedding certificate, from the couple’s daughter Loretta. The Ordewers were Russian Jews who had emigrated to the United Kingdom, Harry Ordewer becoming a furrier in the East End of London where many Jewish refugees and emigrés were successful in the garment industry.

The outfit was made by the bride herself from gold lamé. The unlined dress is in the style a contemporary evening dress, exposing her arms, shoulders and back; originally it had a metal clasp at the top of the front of the skirt to match that of the cloak. Although wedding dresses were by no means always white, and were frequently made from gold and silver fabrics in the 1920s and 30s, Jewish custom, like that of Christian faith, favoured the wearing of white, long-sleeved gowns with veils to symbolise purity and modesty. Constance’s choice may, therefore, have been seen as a little eccentric in its exotic theatricality. Harry was dashingly, but conventionally, turned out in a morning coat with up to date broad lapels and well-defined shoulders, striped trousers, double-breasted waistcoat and spotted cravat.

Rock on, Constance!

festeringsilence:

An anon asked me for Erik x Raoul in their masquerade attire. Red Death is surprisingly very easy to draw compared to Raoul’s hussar uniform; my hand is dead from that;(

I haven’t been happy with my linework lately so I used this as an exercise to practice my lines.

Valentino spring 2021 haute couture.

This spring collection is telling us a story of how our lives were caged due to the lockdown and this pandemic. The neon is representative of leading our carefree life which was pre pandemic. Neutrals have covered the neon. White symbolic of the pandemic restricting the neon of our mind.  As the time passes the collection moves forward to unleash the neon with just a little hint of neutral. This analogy is inspired by Haute Le Mode. This beautiful portrayal reminds of expressions of life, emotions via art and fashion.be bold.
