EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Dolly Sisters, Jenny (Jansieka) and Rosie (Roszicka), in their exotic and alluring oriental costumes as they performed in the revue "A Vol d'Oiseau" at the Edouard VII Theatre in Paris during the 1920s. The sisters, who hailed from Hungary, were renowned for their tandem acts and musical numbers, often incorporating elements of jazz and cabaret into their performances. Their oriental outfits, inspired by traditional Thai attire, were a striking contrast to the flapper style that dominated the era. The sisters wore long, flowing robes adorned with intricate gold and jewel-toned patterns, accessorized with golden headpieces and delicate jewelry. Their makeup was heavily accentuated, with bold eyeliner and red lips, adding to their exotic and alluring appearance. The sisters' performance in "A Vol d'Oiseau" was a hit with audiences, who were drawn to their unique style and glamour. The sisters' ability to seamlessly blend Eastern and Western influences in their performances made them a standout act in the Parisian cabaret scene. This photograph is a testament to the sisters' ability to captivate and intrigue audiences with their performances, and their influence on the fashion and style of the era. The Dolly Sisters' oriental costumes were a reflection of the age's fascination with the exotic and unknown, and their performances continue to inspire and captivate audiences to this day.
