Keyed to fashion and styled for the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production “Key to the City,” Irene’s wardrobe for the glamorous Loretta Young is another masterly interpretation of both mood and glamour. Business-like-yet-alluring is the character Miss Young portrays as the successful convention-going woman mayor… and the cleverly coordinated costume suits will make every woman yearn for a career! The campaigning mayor gets votes from all constituents for her persuasive fashions, which range from the convertible suit to evening clothes and at-home glamour. Famous as one of the best dressed stars in cinema, Miss Young upholds her reputation for wardrobe finesse in the engrossing picture “Key to the City.” Click thumbnails for larger views.

About Irene
Irene is my grand-aunt, and admired for her work in women's fashion and Hollywood costume design. Her talent as a successful clothing designer in Los Angeles led to her long career as a costume designer for many great films in Hollywood.. until her sudden death in 1962.
