Catalogue Note
Daisy Fellowes, an heiress to the Singer sewing machine fortune, is acknowledged as having been one of the 20th century's most stylish and glamorous women. Born in Paris in 1890 of American and French descent, from the 1920's onwards Daisy was one of the uncrowned queens of the social scene and a leader of fashion as editor-in-chief of the French Harper's Bazaar and one of the major patrons of couturier Elsa Schiaparelli. After a brief first marriage to Jean Amédée Marie Anatole, Prince de Broglie, she married the Hon. Reginald Ailwyn Fellowes, a banker cousin of Winston Churchill, in 1919.
