Description

Catbird’s Leigh Plessner joins us to discuss the 1931 novella Sundays and its fascinating author, French socialite Daisy Fellowes. Heiress to the Singer sewing machine fortune, Fellowes was the Paris editor of the American Harper’s Bazaar and muse to the likes of Coco Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli, and Salvador Dali. Karl Lagerfeld reportedly once called her “the chicest woman I ever laid eyes on.” Discussed in this episode: Sundays by Daisy FellowesLeigh PlessnerCatbirdCoco Chanel Rachel TashjiaIsaac SingerIsabel Blanche SingerWinaretta SingerDiana VreelandCecil Beaton Salvador DaliVan Cleef and ArpelsBelperron CartierThe Tutti Frutti collection by CartierDuff CooperWinston Churchill“The Most Wicked Woman in High Society” (The Daily Mail) Heiresses: the Lives of the Million Dollar Babies by Laura ThompsonNancy MitfordLost Ladies of Lit episode on Nancy Mitford with Laura ThompsonRonald Firbank Marcel VertesMoulin Rouge (1952 film)Jean CocteauCats in the Isle of Man by Daisy FellowesLudwig Bemelmans Bemelmans BarTell Them it was Wonderful by Ludwig BemelmansTo the For episodes and show notes, visit: LostLadiesofLit.com Follow us on instagram @lostladiesoflit.
