Picture No 10639124
Date 1921
Description Lady Idina Gordon
Details

Lady Idina Gordon (nee Sackville) pictured centre, in a bathing suit at the fashionable French resort of Deauville in 1921, pictured with Lady Drogheda on the left and 'a friend'. Five-times married Idina would gain notoriety as part of the Happy Valley Set when she moved to Kenya in 1924 with her third husband, Josslyn Hay, Earl of Errol. With her serial marriages and reputation for debauched decadence, she inspired the character of 'The Bolter' in Nancy Mitford's novels, The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate, Evelyn Waugh's Vile Bodies and the character Iris Storm in The Green Hat by Michael Arlen.
