sir cosmo & lady duff gordon

Now that my question about Lady Duff Gordon's voice and accent has been answered so kindly, I'm going to be cheeky and pose another. Sir Cosmo's country seat was Maryculter, in Scotland. I don't know much about this house, other than that it is now a hotel, but in 1912, I imagine it came with...

I realise that this might appear to be a rather peculiar question (and apologies, as ever, if it has been answered elsewhere) but I wonder if anybody could tell me what kind of VOICE Lady Duff Gordon had? In England, even today, an accent immediately 'places' a person (both geographically and...

I am going to Paris next friday and I was wondered if the "Maison Lucile" on Rue de penthievres still stands. I have not found anything about this street but I've heard something about a house in 14, Avenue de Bois de Boulogne. Maybe is this a new name of the street? When I will be in Paris, I...

Its my understanding that Lucile had on the Titanic a pair of seventeenth century pearl and emerald cross earings that were a Duff Gordon family heirloom and given to her as a wedding present from Sir Cosmo sadly they were lost in the sinking. dose anyone know why she would not have attempted...

dose anyone know how sir andrew duff gordon relates to sir cosmo and lucile? i haven't been able to find a connection.

I read that few people have seen Duff-Gordons every day in other clothes aboard Carpathia. And somebody said that they took their suitcases. I was wondered about it - if it's true or lie. I think Randy can answer me. Thank you Regards Vitezslav

Did Lucy Duff-Gordon write this book?

Does anybody say me, what do these four ladies talking about, when they sitting in Lounge on tea? (Before "flying scene"). In czech dubbing, Ruth says that same like in script (about invitations and Bridemaid`s dresses), but then starts Lucile to talk something about her "New collection for...

Hi All, While reading my contracts book, I came across a very interesting case with Lady Duff Gordon, as defendant! Not sure if you are all familiar, but apparently Lucy had contracted with a man by the name of Otis Wood and that for her granting him exclusive rights to endorse her...

For anyone who is interested FIT will be having an exhibition entitled "Designing the It Girl: Lucile and Her Style" from March 1 - April 16, 2005. Highlighting pieces from the collection of the Museum at FIT as well as Lucile's extensive archives housed in the Gladys Marcus Library's Special...

Lucile (Lady Duff Gordon) is having a renaissance period of late. Not only does an incredible Lucile evening gown go to auction today at the Doyle galleries in New York, but the Museum of London’s latest big exhibition, "The London Look," features a Lucile opera cloak that almost perfectly...

Hi, all: Thanks to Don Lynch for the heads up about the inclusion of some Lucile originals in the current costume design exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. He's going to be attending soon and I thought that other friends of ET who live in the area might also like to stop in...

Thanks to my friend John Hemmert I received today a copy of an editorial in defense of the Duff Gordons that I'd never read before. I was very happy to get this as it puts into perfect perspective the situation that engulfed the couple in the wake of the Titanic. More so than any account I've...

Hi everyone, apologies if this has been covered elsewhere here, but my wife is starting a fashion course and needs to gatherand present some work on a designer of her choice. She's considering doing Lucille, so can anyone in the know please recommend some good resources of info for us? Are...

To Randy Bryan Bigham: I thoroughly enjoyed reading your article about Madame Lucile . I gather, you already have read "Discretions and Indecretions. Have you gotten a copy of the "It Girls" as well? Patty Miller

Hi guys, does anybody know if there are any photo's of the Countess Of Rothes,Molly Brown or Lady Duff Gordon when they reached old age??

Hi, I'm recently become interested in the Duff Gordon's, mainly after reading the wonderful posts from Randy which contained letter's by Lucille. I'd like to learn more about them and things they supposedly said or did during their voyage on the Titanic that made them so controversial. I...

Just read your introduction, Randy, and now I cannot wait for the rest of the book - any news on when it will be out?
