EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1941, Joan Perry exudes sophistication and elegance in her two-piece ensemble, or suit, as she poses for the camera during the filming of "Maisie Was a Lady." Designed by the renowned costume designer Dolly Tree for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the suit is a stunning combination of beige and black, reflecting the fashion trends of the 1940s. The black jacket, made of sheer wool, features twin flap pockets below each shoulder and fastens in the front with a zipper. Its upstanding rounded lapels and slightly flared peplum add a touch of glamour, while the natural lynx three-quarter length coat completes the look. The beige woolen skirt, worn with the jacket, is slim and complements the overall ensemble. Joan Perry, a talented supporting actress, was known for her impeccable style both on and off the screen. However, it was her marriage to Harry Cohn, head of Columbia Pictures in 1941, that catapulted her into a position of power and ultimately led to her retirement from films. This photograph is a testament to Dolly Tree's "detail-conscious" ethic and the importance of creating matching ensembles that perfectly complemented the actors and their roles. The transparent oxfords bound in black suede, pull-on suede gloves, and a black felt halo hat add the final touches to this stunning outfit. The jazz age influence is evident in the fashionable yet practical design, making this photograph a must-see for anyone interested in Hollywood glamour and the fashion of the 1940s.
