Christmas with Madra Lord - 1920's


An early publicity photo of Miss Lord wearing the swanky ensemble "Tea with Coco" from The Devereaux Sisters Collection by Robert Tonner.  OOAK cigarette holder from The Couture Touch.  Madra's bobbed hairstyle, popularized by silent film star Louise Brooks, was all the rage during the Twenties.
