Much like the excellent sable in the last update, I rather like this outfit, despite it being somewhat conservative. Yes, a full fur cloak would have been that final touch, but the muff and headpiece, combined with the veil and the rather excellent lighting really combine to nail this one.

This is a publicity shot from a 1939 film named Hotel Imperial, so something else to keep an eye out for.

An Italian actress with a short career in the states, Isa was billed as the “Italian Marlene Dietrich”. Not a bad gig if you can get it. She’s a striking beauty, certainly.
