EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1937, we find two elegant women, Mrs. Charles Sweeny (formerly Miss Margaret Whigham) and Miss Jeanne Stourton, seated together in the front row of a Maggy Rouff dress show. The setting is the fashionable world of haute couture in the 1930s, an era of glamour and sophistication. Mrs. Sweeny, later known as the Duchess of Argyll, was a prominent figure in British society. She had previously been known as Miss Margaret Whigham before her marriage to the Duke of Argyll in 1938. Her close companion in this image, Miss Jeanne Stourton, was not only a dear friend but also the godmother to Mrs. Sweeny's daughter, Frances. The resemblance between the two women is striking, with their elegant posture, refined features, and chic attire. The fashion show at Maggy Rouff's Parisian atelier was the perfect setting for these two society ladies to display their impeccable style and grace. The front-row seats allowed them to be among the first to witness the latest creations from the renowned fashion designer, Maggy Rouff. The 1930s, often referred to as the Golden Age of Fashion, was marked by its opulence and elegance. This photograph captures the essence of that era, with its focus on the upper class and their love for fashion. The image is a beautiful testament to the enduring friendship between Mrs. Sweeny and Miss Stourton, as well as their shared appreciation for the art of fashion. This photograph is a captivating glimpse into the world of high society in the 1930s, offering a glimpse into the lives of two elegant women and their love for fashion.
