EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image captures the elegance and allure of the Belle Époque era, featuring a woman dressed in an exquisite outfit for a night out in St. Moritz. The outfit, made of embroidered white frieze with skunk trim and wool embroidery, exudes an air of sophistication and luxury. The low-cut gold sheath gown is paired with a cape, adding an element of drama and mystery to the ensemble. The woman holds a fan in one hand and wears an elaborate hairstyle adorned with flowers, further emphasizing her grand parure. The illustration, titled "Pour St. Moritz ratine blanche garnie de skunks et brodee de laine," was created by George Barbier for the French fashion magazine "Journal des Dames et des Modes" in 1913. The hand-coloured pochoir (stencil) etching was produced by Armand Vallée in Paris. The image is reminiscent of the Art Deco and Orientalist styles popular during the Belle Époque, and the woman's outfit bears a resemblance to the costumes worn by dancers in the Ballets Russes. The Parisians of the time would have considered this outfit to be the height of chic and elegant finery, making it a true treasure of fashion history.
