Most first year law students still study the case of Wood v. Lucy,
Lady Duff-Gordon in which they read Cardozo's sarcastic reference how
she "styles herself a 'creator of fashions.'" In fact, Cardozo
notwithstanding, Lucy was a highly influential and innovative fashion
designer. Wikipedia has a nice biography of Lucy [1]here. [2]Coat by
Lucille Professor Allen Kamp of the John Marshall Law School has
located this photograph of a coat, c1923, silk brocade and velvet,
designed by the House of Lucille, Lady Duff Gordon's fashion company.
In addition to being famous in her day as a designer, Lucy and her
husband Cosmo Duff-Gordon were survivors of the sinking of the
Titanic, and she makes a brief appearance as a character in the James
Cameron film. Here is an interesting composite photo combining Lucy
and Rosalind Ayres, portraying her in the film.
