Kitty Lord's boots

Join us as we take you behind the scenes in our fashion stores to look at some rare items belonging to Kitty Lord a singer and dancer and theatre performer who began her career in the 1890s and is often described as eccentric. Unusually, she performed internationally in Paris, South America and Italy as well as appearing at a number of major music halls in London including The Tivoli Theatre of Varieties on The Strand, The Oxford Music Hall on Oxford Street and The Paragon Theatre in Mile End. Kitty performed was on stage for about 20 years and had some absolutely fabulous outfits. We have two pairs of her shoes and a stunning pair of jewelled boots which you can see on display made by a company called HM Rayne based in Waterloo, London in the mid to late 1880s.
