Marcel Vertes' watercolor painting captured the essence of Tango's allure, bringing its vibrant energy to life on canvas. Social/Cup Day at Ascot became an annual spectacle where fashion enthusiasts paraded their finest attire while sipping champagne and placing bets. Amidst this fashionable frenzy, a woman found solace in her book - a reminder that fashion is not just about appearances but also personal expression. Fashions for a Coronation Summer in 1953 celebrated regal elegance as monarchs ascended to power. Elspeth Phelps' advertisement from the 1920s transported us to an era of flappers and jazz age glamour. Ladies by Sea in France embraced seaside chic with breezy dresses and wide-brimmed hats under sunny skies.
