EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the ethereal beauty and mystery of actress Kay Hammond as she dons the iconic sugar pink satin dressing gown designed by Victor Stiebel for her role as Elvira Condomine in the 1945 film "Blithe Spirit" directed by David Lean. The film, an adaptation of Noël Coward's classic comedy about a woman haunted by the spirit of her deceased husband, showcases Hammond's impeccable fashion sense and the exquisite design of Stiebel's creation. The dressing gown, made of soft and luxurious satin, is a standout piece from the film's costume design. Its pink hue adds a touch of sweetness and femininity to Elvira's character, while the elegant and flowing design accentuates Hammond's grace and elegance. The gown's intricate detailing, including the delicate lace trim and the delicate bow at the waist, further emphasizes the elegance and sophistication of the character. The photograph captures Hammond in a moment of quiet reflection, as she stands in front of a mirror, lost in thought. The ghostly figure of her deceased husband, played by Rex Harrison, can be seen in the background, adding an otherworldly element to the scene. The contrast between the real and the supernatural, the living and the dead, is beautifully captured in this image. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of classic Hollywood fashion and the iconic roles that continue to inspire and captivate audiences. The dressing gown designed by Victor Stiebel for Kay Hammond in "Blithe Spirit" remains a beloved and iconic piece of film history, a symbol of the glamour and elegance of the forties and a reminder of the timeless beauty of the films of David Lean and Noël Coward.
