From Wikipedia: 'In order to support herself and her daughter after the end of her first marriage, Lucy began working as a dressmaker from home. By 1894 she had opened Maison Lucile.... Lucile Ltd served a wealthy clientele including aristocracy, royalty and theatre stars. The business expanded with salons opening in New York City, Paris, and Chicago.... Lucile was most famous for her lingerie, tea gowns, and evening wear.... She is also widely credited with training the first professional fashion models (called mannequins) as well as staging the first runway or "catwalk".... In addition to her career as a couturière, costumier, journalist and
pundit, Lucile took significant advantage of opportunities for
commercial endorsement, [lending] her name to advertising for shoes,
brassieres, perfume and other luxury apparel and beauty items....
'She and her husband, Sir Cosmo, booked first class passage on the ocean liner RMS Titanic under the names Mr. and Mrs. Morgan .... Lucile had another close call three years after surviving the Titanic when she booked passage aboard the RMS Lusitania on its last voyage. It was reported in the press that she cancelled her trip due to illness. The Lusitania was destroyed by a German torpedo on 7 May 1915....
'Lucy Duff Gordon's connection to her design empire began to disintegrate following a restructuring of Lucile, Ltd in 1918–19.... She died of breast cancer, complicated by pneumonia, in a Putney, London nursing home'.
