EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from 1936, the legendary Hollywood actress Jean Harlow poses in a new fashionable ensemble, marking a departure from her previous on-screen image. The image was taken to promote Harlow's upcoming film, "Riffraff," and was designed by the renowned costume designer Dolly Tree. At the height of her fame during the Jazz Age and 1930s, Harlow was known for her sultry screen presence and glamorous style. However, for her role in "Riffraff," she sought to challenge her public persona and embrace a more understated, sophisticated look. This fashion feature showcases the new direction Harlow was taking, with press stories heralding her "Simplicity is Chic" wardrobe as the must-have styles of the coming season. The elegant gown Harlow wears in the photograph is a testament to the designer's skill and the era's fashion trends. The simple yet elegant lines of the dress, combined with its chic accessories, exude an air of refinement and elegance. The dress's understated beauty is a stark contrast to the more ornate and flashy costumes Harlow wore in her earlier films. The photograph was taken at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) studios, where Harlow was under contract. The studio, known for its innovative approach to filmmaking and fashion, provided the perfect setting for this fashionable shoot. The image captures the essence of the 1930s and the glamour and sophistication of Hollywood during that era. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the world of Hollywood fashion during the 1930s and the transformation of one of its most iconic stars. The simple yet chic ensemble worn by Jean Harlow in the photograph continues to inspire fashion enthusiasts to this day.
