A self-taught seamstress, Lady Duff Gordon built a fashion empire in the early 20th century but faced scandal as a Titanic survivor.

About the Event

Lady Duff Gordon transformed from a self-taught seamstress to a leading fashion designer with her Maison Lucile label. Her designs influenced early 20th-century style, but her legacy was clouded by scandal after she and her husband survived the Titanic, facing public scrutiny over their lifeboat escape.

Carol Chapman, a Wyoming-based writer and speaker who brings to life the stories of remarkable women from history, will present this interactive lecture.
