EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph from the annals of French fashion history, Jeanne Lanvin's exquisite costume designs take center stage in a theatrical tableau at the Theatre Pigalle in Paris during the late 1920s. The image, reminiscent of the painting style of the renowned Victorian artist Winterhalter, transports us back to the opulent Second Empire era. The tableau is set against a backdrop of lush, velvet curtains, adorned with intricate gold embroidery and tassels. The scene is filled with an air of elegance and refinement, as several women, dressed in Jeanne Lanvin's stunning creations, curtsy before an unseen audience. The costumes, a testament to the designer's artistic vision and mastery of the feminine form, are a feast for the eyes. Each woman wears a voluminous crinoline skirt, the petticoats beneath billowing out in a riot of colors - pink, yellow, blue, and green. The dresses themselves are adorned with delicate floral patterns, their bodices cinched in at the waist to accentuate the hourglass figure. Bouquets of flowers in hand, the women exude an ethereal grace, their curtseys a symbol of submission and respect. The overall effect is one of enchantment and wonder, a snapshot of a bygone era where fashion, art, and theatre intertwined to create a magical experience for the senses. Jeanne Lanvin's designs, with their timeless elegance and feminine allure, continue to captivate and inspire, over 90 years after this photograph was taken.
