1930s portraits (No other information known)

In the above portraits, the subjects are wearing hats typical of the 1930s. The straw hat on the right is a porkpie hat, a popular 30s style for both men and women. The wide brim hat on the left has a asymmetrical brim – wider in the front, with a wide satin band that matches the dress.

More on women’s hats of the 1930s in a near-future post!

According to the notes on Elise's character design sheet, the emblem on her garters is meant to be a Hydrangea! Though these flowers are often seen clustered together in a way not depicted in her accessory, you can clearly make out the four-petaled shape of the individual flowers!

These flowers are associated with Japan's rainy season in June. In the Japanese flower language, Hanakotoba, the hydrangea is associated with concepts like "strong love," "family," "sincerity," and "apologies."

Blue Hydrangeas specifically can be associated with concepts like "indifferent and cold," "ruthlessness," and "patient, loyal affection."

White Hydrangeas can be associated with "open-mindedness."

Kawarazaki Shodo (1889-1973)

Since Elise is a character created in Japan, these concepts were likely considered while choosing which flower to put on her garter!

But Ishana, where she lives, is more rooted in European culture, so let's take a look at Victorian flower language as well!

In this variant of floral symbolism, hydrangeas are instead associated with "pridefulness," "boastfulness," and "cold heartedness!" There were even some legends in the 1800s suggesting that women who grew hydrangeas in their yards would be unlucky in love- cursed to never marry, and die alone.

Wilfred Gabriel de Glehn (1870-1951)

As an added note; Kuon wears a similar garter with an emblem that looks like a lily!

Jane de Glehn at Cheyne Walk, London, England (1904). Wilfred Gabriel de Glehn (British, 1870-1951). Oil on canvas.

Wilfrid and Jane married in La Rochelle in 1904 and, after a brief honeymoon departed for England where they settled at 73 Cheyne Walk, London. Before the First World War the de Glehns frequently travelled with John Singer Sargent in Europe, and all three, when sketching together, invariably incorporated portraits of each other in their work. Sargent frequently visited the de Glehns' Chelsea house, which became a gathering place for the British Impressionists. Both Jane and Wilfrid exhibited at the Royal Academy and the New English Art Club.

Clare Collins might be on the painting "The Sisters" (1927) by Wilfred Gabriel de Glehn, too (posted here before). Maybe he painted the sisters first and asked the prettier one for a single session?
