1940s Glamour Fashion - Hedy Lamarr





One look at this beautiful, intelligent and most glamorous Star
who was amongst the very loyal clients of Callot (Maison Calvet),
and it is easy to understand why I named one of my most
stunning minaudière in her honour:  "LAMARR"
while selecting this Signature shade which  resembles
the colour of her expressive eyes!

Aside from the fabulous Couture, one can observe that
it is during this time, when handbags slowly but surely
make their transition from mere "complements"  to become "accessories"
thus, taking their rightful place in Fashion as part of the overall ensemble!

It was recently recommended to me to pay visit to a site named
"Glamour Daze" (from Ireland), which I found to be quite nice and very
interesting, particularly these vintage Fashion and Beauty video gems.
I have selected just a few of them to share with you.  Enjoy!
