Glimpse a world of dreams! Madra was unforgettable in 1937's Night Memories, in which she can only remember the details of a gangland killing in her dreams! But you won't forget her lovely braided hair and dramatic black-striped mermaid gown, picture hat with flowers, beaded jewelry, gloves with floral trim, hose, and strappy shoes!

Madra is a blooming goddess in this festival of brilliant floral tones straight off the pages of 1954 Bazaar and onto the waiting form divine of our favorite Diva. This sumptuous gown of daffodil yellow taffeta features a 'cloche skirt', named so for the angled rise in the hem from back to front. A tiny fitted bodice is bowed beneath the bust and bourn aloft by the daring balloon skirt punctuated at the hemline with matching bows and lined in a striking deep fuchsia. 'Diamonds' virtually drip from...

2008 Collection. Limited Edition of 300 Worldwide. Cest Moi was one of the first things Madra Lord learned to say in France
and somehow it always seemed to apply. How could you blame Madra for thinking that people were looking at and talking about her, especially when she was dressed in this absolute symphony of cool grey tones? Starting at the top, the one hot note in the piece, Madra wears a marcel-waved titian bob, curling over the bow at the neckline of her georgette blouse. Over this lovely...

The title says it all: Rich Girl a look so sleek and polished that privilege is the only possible explanation. A fitted black crepe dress with tailored draping on the hips is paired with an abbreviated jacket of silver fox. The silver-grey-on-black is echoed throughout the accessories, starting at the top, with a lavishly plumed black hat with feathers matching the fur of the jacket. Opera-length black gloves extend the cap sleeves of the slender dress. The shoes and clutch are black patent...

2008 Collection. Limited Edition of 300 Worldwide. Perhaps there was a more beautiful dress there that night, but I doubt it. And maybe there was in the huge crowd a more beautiful woman there that warm summer evening. But at the ball that night, there was no other beautiful woman in attendance as beautifully dressed as Madra Lord. Nature and artifice combined perfectly in a bias cut confection. The fitted column of dusty pink satin is pleated at the criss-cross bodice into a halter neckline before...

The fashionable silhouette of any decade isn't necessarily the way everyone always dressed in that period, but rather the way we remember them as having dressed- the dominant style. It's the visual record of history, commerce and society, combined into the image of what a majority of the population wished to present itself as being. In the 1940s, all women didn't wear enormous shoulder pads and ankle-strap shoes, but enough actresses in Hollywood did to establish that as the style we associate...

Madra sports her latest cosmetic reincarnation with a new and marvelous mouth and daringly winged eyelids beneath her elaborately bouffant, platinum coiffure. Her accessories include a silver evening bag and sparkling white opera length gloves embroidered in silver. Her yellow pumps are tied at the toes with matching yellow bows, a bit of poetry for the most flowery of frocks.

LE 650. Retail $200. Madra Lords performance in Rich Girl as Eden Vickers was one of the highlights of her late 1930s film career. Madra was given, and relished, the opportunity to play a character whose transformation propels the story from start to finish. This costume was entitled Careless Kisses for obvious reasons within the plot. The pristine cream satin gown was the perfect counterpoint to Edens reckless flirtations and desperate unhappiness within her sheltered life. Over the meticulously...
