Hubert de Givenchy designed dresses worn by Audrey Hepburn, like this one. It may be that Lucile had a similar relationship with the great Edwardian performer Lily Elsie. Lucile was aware of the role of celebrity in culture and how it could be used to promote business. Lily Elsie wasn’t the only celebrity to wear Lucile.
