EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning costume design by Irene Segalla, created for the production of "New Moon" starring Evelyn Laye at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in London during 1928, is a captivating example of the Art Deco aesthetic that defined the Jazz Age of the 1920s. Segalla's innovative design for Laye's character showcases the elegant and intricate details that were synonymous with the era's fashion. The costume, depicted in this sketch, features a flowing, bias-cut gown in a rich, midnight blue hue, adorned with intricate beadwork and sequins that shimmer and sparkle, creating a mesmerizing effect. The dress is accentuated by a delicate, off-the-shoulder neckline and a slim, belted waist that accentuates the female form. The overall design exudes an air of sophistication and glamour, perfectly suited for the stage of Drury Lane. Segalla's mastery of the Art Deco style is evident in the geometric patterns and clean lines that can be seen in the design. The use of bold, contrasting colors and the incorporation of fringe and beading add an element of drama and excitement to the costume. The result is a visually stunning design that is both timeless and quintessentially 1920s. Evelyn Laye, a popular and talented actress of the time, brought this costume to life on the stage, captivating audiences with her performance in "New Moon." This design by Irene Segalla is not only a testament to the creativity and artistry of the costume designer but also a reminder of the enduring allure of the Jazz Age and the fashion that defined it.
