Vogue, June 1933: “Here is cinema’s latest meteor, Miss Katharine Hepburn, who somehow manages to look like a forthright, clean-cut American girl, a Michael Arlen heroine, and an enigmatic Garbo rolled into one — wearing two decidedly new fashions. You see her leaning on Colwell’s crystal console, in a very sophisticated tea gown — a long trailing Roman striped chiffon coat over a trailing slip of raspberry chiffon, tied snugly at the waist. The jewels are from Mauboussin. From the worldly tea-gown is the naïve summer evening dress Miss Hepburn wears. It closes at the throat and covers the shoulders with hundreds of petals – like a baby’s party dress – but there’s plenty of allure. Made of organza, white with navy blue squares, it ties at the neckline and tightly around the waistline with blue grosgrain ribbon.” Fashions worn by KH in these two Steichen photographs are by Hattie Carnegie and Fortnum & Mason. ⁣
