John Singer Sargent (1856-1925)

Heiress to the Singer sewing machine empire on her mother’s side, and a descendent of French aristocracy on her father’s, Daisy Fellowes was a trendsetter from the 'Roaring Twenties' through the café-society of the 1930s. An integral part of Mayfair society during the interwar years, her social circle included royalty and moguls, who she entertained on her two yachts in the Mediterranean and at her beach house in Antibes. Known to change outfits multiple times when she hosted, Daisy arguably launched more fashions than any other woman in the world. She was renowned both for her fine clothing and jewels, which she acquired from the leading jewelers and couturiers of her time, including Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Elsa Schiaparelli and Chanel. Daisy married the Honorable Reginald Fellowes, a wealthy banker and cousin of Winston Churchill, after a brief marriage to the Prince de Broglie.
