EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1932, the elegant sisters Gloria Vanderbilt and Consuelo Vanderbilt Thaw, both American socialites, are seen relaxing at Eden Roc on the French Riviera. The sisters, who were known for their fashionable sensibilities, are dressed in the height of 1930s chic. Gloria wears wide-legged palazzo pants, a trend that was popularized during this decade, and pairs them with a knitted vest top. Her sister Consuelo complements her look with a similar outfit, also sporting wide-legged pants and a fitted vest. The sisters, who were part of the prominent Vanderbilt family, were often in the spotlight for their fashionable appearances and social engagements. Gloria, who was just 21 years old at the time, was known for her stylish wardrobe and her romantic relationships with famous men, including Ernest Hemingway and Marlin Monroe. Consuelo, on the other hand, was married to Benjamin Thaw, a wealthy American businessman, and was known for her refined taste and elegant demeanor. The sisters' vacation at Eden Roc, located in Antibes, South France, was a testament to their love for travel and fashion. The French Riviera was a popular destination for the wealthy and fashionable set in the 1930s, and the sisters' outfits reflect the relaxed yet stylish vibe of the area. The wide-legged palazzo pants, which allowed for ease of movement and comfort, were a practical yet fashionable choice for a day at the beach. The knitted vest tops, with their fitted silhouette and intricate knit patterns, added a touch of sophistication to their casual beachwear. This photograph captures a moment in time when Gloria and Consuelo, two American sisters, embraced the fashion trends of the 1930s and enjoyed the beauty of the French Riviera. It is a reminder of a bygone era when fashion and travel were intertwined, and the sisters' stylish outfits continue to inspire fashion enthusiasts to this day.
