EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Vision of Elegance: A Woman in Blue and Yellow Striped Pekin Silk Satin Dress" This image showcases a woman of refined taste and sophistication, dressed in a stunning blue and yellow striped Pekin silk satin dress. The dress, a robe de satin pekine a volants de nainsouk, is adorned with delicate nainsook cotton frills, adding a touch of whimsy to the otherwise formal attire. The woman's velvet evening coat, du soir en velours, is draped elegantly over her shoulders, its silver embroidery and brooch adding an air of glamour and opulence. The handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching, an art deco masterpiece from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1912, captures the essence of the Belle Époque and the Orientalist influences that permeated European fashion during this period. The woman's attire bears a striking resemblance to the costumes worn by the dancers of the Ballets Russes, a groundbreaking dance company that revolutionized the world of dance and the arts. The woman's chic Parisian style is further accentuated by her intricately designed manteau, frappe garni de soie brochee d'argent, which features silver embroidery and a striking brooch. The dress, with its orientalist influences and bold colour palette, embodies the spirit of the Art Deco movement and the allure of the exotic. The pochoir etching technique, which involves the transfer of ink through a stencil, adds an additional layer of texture and depth to the image, making it a true work of art. This image is a testament to the enduring appeal of fashion as an art form and a reflection of the cultural influences that shaped the world of fashion during the early 20th century. The woman in the image, with her timeless elegance and sophisticated style, continues to inspire and captivate viewers more than a century after this pochoir etching was first published.
