Made by Christian Dior.
From the collection of Alison Adburgham. Adburgham was fashion editor for The Guardian between 1954 and 1973. She was their first official fashion editor during a time when fashion journalism was first emerging. She was known for her sharp writing and blistering critiques. She was a vocal advocate for women’s expression and for understanding the intelligence of fashion – not just frippery or novelty, but art and statement. She moved to Cornwall after her retirement.
