<\/h2>\nJoanna Lumley’s Assiut Shawl<\/h2>\n
These people spend a lot of time in the dining room dressed in a glamorous and expensive array of black and white clothing. Joanna as Elenor Glyn wears her assiut shawl in the final dining room scene. The mood is somber and reflective as the revelers try to figure out who shot Ince.<\/p>\n
This assiut shawl is the perfect design choice, fitting into the color palette and underscoring these Hollywood elites’ wealth, sophistication, and glamour.<\/p>\n
In 1924, assiut shawls were all the rage through the well-traveled wealthy set. This was the era of Egyptomania, with King Tut’s tomb only discovered two years before.\u00a0 Tourists were loading up on these shawls during Nile cruises.<\/p>\n

If you plan on wearing your assiut shawl for a fancy dinner, why not use this ensemble as a model?\u00a0 Note the use of a plain black dress with a deeply cut V-neckline.\u00a0 This angle echos the diamond patterns, and creates a space to showcase a stack of black and white themed beaded necklaces. The hair is swept up to allow a full view of the shawl.<\/p>\n
Wanna See the whole film?
