The Rise and Fall of the House of Lucile, Lady Duff Gordon
Manage episode 357959685 series 2981824
Join me as I examine the life of a powerhouse of a woman, born Lucy Christiana Sutherland but re-branded through her own force as Lucy, Lady Duff Gordon, owner and designer of the greatest and grandest fashion house of the Edwardian era. She is not without controversy, but neither are our famous male figures from this era. She built an empire and we still live with the influence of her design, her flair, and her business practices today. Why doesn't she get more credit? Let's dissect it!
My direct academic-leaning sources for this episode:
-Gareth Russell, The Ship of Dreams
-Randy Bryan Bigham, Lucile – Her Life by Design
-Hugh Brewster, Gilded Lives, Fatal Voyage
-Melanie Abrahms, “Fashion’s Forgotten Grande Dame,” in the Telegraph: https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=lucile+duff+gordon+telgraph&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
Duff Gordon's autobiography, Discretions and Indiscretions, and some of her other writings are easily findable on Amazon and other online booksellers.
