Lucy Duff Gordon

Lucy Duff Gordon was a renowned British dressmaker and fashion designer known for her romantic label, Lucile. She gained notoriety after surviving the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, which led to public scandal due to her early escape from the ship. Despite her significant contributions to early 20th-century fashion, including being a pioneer in creating luxurious women’s evening wear, she has largely faded from historical memory, overshadowed by her contemporaries.
