Doris Langley Moore
Doris Langley Moore OBE (1902–1989) also known as Doris Langley-Levy Moore, was one of the first important female fashion historians. She founded the Fashion Museum, Bath (as The Museum of Costume) in 1963. She was also a well-respected Lord Byron scholar, and author of a 1940s ballet, ''The Quest''. As a result of these wide-ranging interests, she had many connections within fashionable, intellectual, artistic and theatrical circles.〔Taylor, Lou, ''Establishing Dress History'', chapter 4 (Manchester, 2003) ISBN 0-7190-6639-5〕
==Early life and career==
Doris Langley Moore was born in 1902 in Lancashire, England. She was educated in South Africa, where her father was a newspaper editor. At the age of 18, she returned to England to study classical languages at university.〔Langley Moore, Doris, ''The Child in Fashion'' (author notes) (London, 1953)〕
In her twenties, Langley Moore wrote a few lifestyle books, one of which, ''The Technique of the Love Affair'' (1928), was reprinted in 1999/2002. This was a tongue-in-cheek self-help book which suggested ways in which love affairs in the post-World War I era could be successfully conducted.〔Schillinger, Liesl, ''(The Lost Art of the Love Affair )'', ''The New York Times'', 14 February 1999. Accessed 27 January 2010)〕 Dorothy Parker, reviewing for ''The New Yorker'', commented: "The Technique of the Love Affair makes, I am bitterly afraid, considerable sense. If only it had been placed in my hands years ago, maybe I could have been successful instead of just successive."
Subsequent books included ''Pandora's Letter-Box'' (1929) and, in 1933, co-written with her sister June Langley Moore, a guide for society hostesses called ''The Pleasure of your Company''.
