Silent Film Fashion Moment

Bottom: Still from "Salome", 1923, starring Alla Nazimova.

Costume Design and Art Direction by Natacha Rambova - clearly an undervalued talent in Hollywood, since I bet you've never heard of her. Did you know she was the neice of Elsie de Wolfe and was at one time married to Monsignor-Hollywood himself, Rudolph Valentino (top photo)? She is credited for bringing Art Deco to Hollywood, and obviously some Art Nouveau influences as well. Bravo, Ms. Rambova!
