EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white photograph, Russian-born British film and theatre actress Nina Vanna (Nina Yasikova Kind Hakim Provatoroff, 1899-1953) gracefully poses in an ethereal white angel-skin evening gown and sable-trimmed cape, captured by the renowned British photographer Madame Yevonde in 1932. The image exudes an air of glamour and sophistication, as Vanna's long, sinuous figure is accentuated by the flowing fabric of her gown and the luxurious fur trim on her cape. Nina Vanna's acting career spanned several decades, with her making her stage debut in 1920 and her film debut in 1932. She was known for her striking beauty and versatile acting abilities, appearing in a range of roles in both theatre and film. In this photograph, she embodies the epitome of 1930s elegance, with her elegant posture, enchanting smile, and the timeless allure of her white evening gown. Madame Yevonde, whose real name was Evonde Orly, was a pioneering figure in British portrait photography. She is best known for her innovative use of lighting and dramatic poses, which helped to create striking and memorable portraits of her subjects. In this photograph, she expertly captures the essence of Nina Vanna's beauty and charisma, immortalizing a moment in time that continues to captivate audiences today. The white angel-skin evening gown and sable-trimmed cape that Nina Vanna wears in this photograph are designer unknown, adding to the mystery and intrigue of this iconic image. The photograph is a testament to the enduring power of fashion and the art of portraiture, transporting us back to a bygone era of glamour and sophistication.
