EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image showcases a woman of elegance and refinement, dressed in a stunning robe made of taffeta and printed chiffon. The dress, with its intricate oriental-inspired designs, is a true masterpiece of Art Deco and Belle Epoque fashion. The taffeta, a luxurious and heavy fabric, forms the base of the dress, while the lighter and more flowing chiffon adds an air of grace and delicacy. The woman wears a matching hat adorned with a feather and ribbon, adding a touch of playfulness to her sophisticated attire. The designs on the dress, reminiscent of the exotic and alluring costumes of the Ballets Russes, were inspired by the artistic and cultural movements of the early 20th century. The dress was likely created by a renowned Parisian milliner or fashion designer, such as Marcelle or Demay, who were known for their innovative and avant-garde designs. The image is a handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching, created using the traditional stencil technique. This method allowed for precise and intricate detail, resulting in the beautiful and vibrant colours seen in the final print. The image was originally published in Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes in 1914, a leading fashion publication of the time. This image is a testament to the beauty and artistry of fashion during the early 20th century, and serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of these designs on modern fashion.
