EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch, created by the renowned artist Drian in 1921, immortalizes the Dolly Sisters, Jenny and Rosie Janszka (also known as Roszicka), in their dazzling outfits as they prepared to take the stage at the League of Notions in London. The sisters, of Hungarian descent, were a popular cabaret act known for their exotic and glamorous performances, which often incorporated elements of jazz dance and the latest fashion trends. In this sketch, the Dolly Sisters are depicted wearing stunning costumes designed by the influential French fashion designer Paul Poiret. Poiret was a pioneer in the fashion world, known for his bold and innovative designs that challenged traditional gender norms and embraced the free-spirited ethos of the 1920s. The sisters' outfits showcase Poiret's flair for the exotic and theatrical, with their tandem costumes featuring intricate beading, bold colors, and dramatic silhouettes. The League of Notions was a hotspot for the latest trends and innovations in art, music, and fashion, making it the perfect venue for the Dolly Sisters to showcase their unique style and talent. The sisters' performances were a sensation, and their combination of exotic allure, modern fashion, and lively dance moves made them a must-see attraction for audiences in the jazz age. This sketch captures the sisters in their prime, embodying the glamour, style, and excitement of the 1920s. With their age-defying beauty and infectious energy, the Dolly Sisters continued to captivate audiences for years to come, cementing their place in history as iconic performers of the jazz age.
