EDITORS COMMENTS
In the enchanting city of Venice, during the roaring twenties, a spectacular costume ball was held at the historic Fenice Theatre. Among the esteemed guests was Jean-Louis de Faucigny-Lucinge, formerly known as Miss Liliane (Baba) d Erlanger. Dressed in an awe-inspiring costume, she embodied the essence of water, shimmering in a glistening metallic gown. Born into an upper-class society, Jean-Louis was the daughter of Baroness Désirée de Erlanger. Her mother, a renowned patroness of the arts, hosted the grand event, which was a highlight of the Venetian social season. The young princess, with her captivating beauty and playful spirit, was a frequent attendee of such extravagant gatherings. The year was 1926, and the opulence of the ball was unmatched. Guests donned elaborate costumes, transporting themselves to another world, where fantasy and reality intertwined. Jean-Louis, as the ethereal water, was a sight to behold. Her gown, adorned with intricate beadwork and shimmering sequins, reflected the light, creating an illusion of waves gently lapping against the shore. Her hair was styled in soft curls, cascading down her shoulders, and her eyes were accentuated with bold makeup, giving her an otherworldly appearance. As the night progressed, the Fenice Theatre came alive with laughter, music, and the clinking of champagne glasses. Jean-Louis, as the water, danced gracefully among her guests, leaving a trail of sparkle and enchantment in her wake. The memory of this magical night remains etched in the annals of Venetian history, a testament to the enduring allure of the city and the captivating spirit of its guests.
