The most significant single donation of Horrockses Fashions’ garments entered The Harris’s collection in 2016, thanks to the generosity of Maryse Addison (1934–2016). Throughout her life, Maryse was celebrated as one of the best-dressed women in London, a reputation no doubt enhanced by a close personal connection to the label: her brother Anthony worked as a designer in the Horrockses Fashions’ studio at Hanover Square, London. 

Maryse wore this dress to a garden part in London during the 1950s.
