EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pochoir (stencil) etching captures the elegance and allure of a woman in a coral taffeta ball gown adorned with silk ruffles, as depicted in an illustration from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes published in Paris in 1914. The woman's gown, with its rich hue of coral and voluminous ruffles, exudes an air of opulence and sophistication. The taffeta fabric, known for its smooth and lustrous texture, shines in the light, while the silk ruffles add a delicate and feminine touch. The woman's outfit is accessorized with a red foulard (scarf) and a chapeau (hat) in a complementary shade, adding a pop of color to the monochromatic ensemble. The polka dots on the hat and the gros grain (thick ribbon) on the gown add textural contrast and visual interest. The setting of the illustration transports us to a glamorous and exotic world, with the woman depicted on a beach, perhaps preparing for a bal or a soirée (evening event). The Art Deco and Belle Epoque influences are evident in the intricate design and ornate details of the gown, which were popular during this period. This pochoir etching, hand-colored by skilled artisans, showcases the meticulous attention to detail and the high-quality craftsmanship of the time. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of fashion and the artistry that goes into creating timeless and beautiful garments.
