Having moved to Paris in 1926, Deutsch-Dryden took over the art direction of the influential magazine “Die Dame", whose illustrious stable of artists included De Lempicka (who famously created her iconic Self Portrait in a Green Bugatti as the cover image for one of the issues in 1929). At the same time Dryden was also designing for Coco Chanel, Bugatti and Cinzano and the luxury brand Waldorf Astoira. Dryden, later in the decade, went on to design clothes for, amongst others, Prince Edward and his wife Wallis Simpson, and Marlene Dietrich.
