NOTE THAT SINCE THE BOOK WEIGHS OVER ONE POUND, THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING CHARGES IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE THE U.S. [From the dust jacket flaps] Before the invention of Marilyn, even before the invention of Mae West, there were the "It" Girls. The "It" Girls: two Edwardian sisters with classical sex appeal and a very twentieth-century genius for self-promotion. These two extraordinary women propelled themselves to the center of the fashionable world, with no resources beyond brains and style. Lucy, Lady Duff Gordon, better known as "Lucile," became the foremost couturiere of her day, arbiter of fashion to everyone who was anyone on two continents. Her younger sister, Elinor Glyn, a popular romance novelist, was a legend in her own time, known to her public as a titian-haired temptress undulating on a tiger skin. In late-nineteenth-century England, careers were unthinkable for upper-class women. Despite their aristocratic upbringing, meager inheritances and unwise marriages forced the sisters to support their families. With her innovative eye for flattering, uncorseted styles and her love of sweet-pea and hydrangea colors, Lucy elevated the lowly occupation of dress designer to new social heights. Her fashions were the rage with duchesses and queens halfway round the world, yet Lucy preferred the company of such "bohemians" as Isadora Duncan, Sarah Bernhardt, and Ellen Terry. Elinor achieved modest fame with the publication of The Visits of Elizabeth, a barbed autobiographical account of life as a debutante. But true notoriety came with the appearance of her shocker of a novel, Three Weeks, detailing an affair between two recognizable members of her high-society set with unprecedented sexual candor. With the demise of the Edwardian age, both sisters' fortunes declined. Lucy escaped the doomed Titanic only to find the reputation of her second husband, Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon, foundering in one of the most gossip-ridden court scandals of the era. Elinor, in turn, was dumped by the great love of her life, the canny and cultivated politician, Lord Curzon. While Lucy retired in state to Hampstead Heath, the indomitable Elinor embarked on a new career as one of the first women directors in 1920s Hollywood. Well into her sixties, she set about teaching King Vidor how to shoot a love scene?and invented the role of the "It" Girl, which made Clara Bow a star. Drawing on letters, private diaries, and the observations of contemporaries, Meredith Etherington-Smith and Jeremy Pilcher have written an absorbing, vividly detailed biography of two complex women who advanced upon their time with incomparable energy and ingenuity. Meredith Etherington-Smith lives in London and is the author of Jean Patou, published in Great Britain. She has contributed articles on fashion, decoration, and literature to Paris Vogue and Women's Wear Daily for many years, as well as writing television documentaries. Jeremy Pilcher is a former British merchant banker. This is his first book.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. ETHERINGTON-SMITH, Meredith; PILCHER, Jeremy. The IT Girls. Lucy, Lady Duff Gordon, the Couturiere 'Lucile', and Elinor Glyn, Romantic Novelist. London: Hamish Hamilton, 1986. First edition. This double biography of two extraordinary women - Elinor Glyn and her sister, Lucy, Lady Duff Gordon touches on fashion, society, social gossip, romantic fiction, travel, politics, and illicit romance during the Edwardian era. It also explores Hollywood during the era of the silent films of the 1920s. Elinor Glyn (864-1943) was a romantic novelist, author of the notorious novel Three Weeks (1907), which forever established her image as a red-haired temptress undulating on a tiger skin. She also coined the notion of It , as a term for sex appeal. Lucy, Lady Duff Gordon (1862-1935) was one of the foremost couturiers of her age, working in London, Paris and New York. She seems to have invented the idea of the mannequin parade, and the custom of giving dresses individual names. Includes a chapter on the Duff Gordons escape from the Titanic. xiv, 274 pp. Hardback (ISBN: 9780241119501). Very good in dust-jacket. Jacket design by Craig Dodd. The portrait of Elinor Glyn in the left oval is by Philip de Laszlo. The watercolour on the back of the jacket is by Lucy. From the library of Henrietta McCall (1948-2023), ancient historian, curator, and author.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Culture, Technology and the Image explores the technologies deployed when images are archived, accessed, and distributed. The chapters discuss the ways in which habits and techniques used in learning and communicating knowledge about images are affected by technological developments. The volume discusses a wide range of issues, including access and participation; research, pedagogy, and teaching; curation and documentation; circulation and re-use; and conservation and preservation. The book illustrates how knowledge about images is intertwined with the methods that are used to store, retrieve, and analyze those images and the information associated with them. Focusing on the implications of technology for processes and practices brings into view the permeable nature of boundaries between such disciplines as art history, media studies, museum studies, and archiving. As such, this text will appeal to a broad academic audience, including art historians interested in the digital; media studies scholars; digital humanities scholars interested in expanding beyond textual scholarship; as well as new students in any of these fields. Explores the technologies deployed when images are archived, accessed, and distributed. The chapters discuss the ways in which habits and techniques used in learning and communicating knowledge about images are affected by technological developments.
