Little is known or said these days about Peter Russell, who judging from this 1948 article was a very private man. His clothes have that English country style that can be worn for years and years without looking old fashioned.
As soon as I saw Peter Russell I immediately thought of the yellow dress from 1946 you showed (that is how i first came across him!) sensational stuff! I have to say the dress in question is one of my all time favourite 40s dresses, i just love the structured drapery of the skirt.
