EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image captures the essence of elegance and sophistication during the Belle Époque and Art Deco eras. The woman in the photograph is depicted in an exquisite low-cut gold sheath gown with a cape, accessorized with a fan. The gown's sleeveless design and high slit reveal the sophistication and allure of the wearer. The gold fabric shimmers in the light, adding an air of opulence and luxury. The woman's outfit is further enhanced by a green sash and a purple belt, adding a pop of color to the monochromatic gold ensemble. The intricate detailing of the gown is showcased in this handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching, a popular technique during the early 20th century. The image is an illustration by Armand Vallee, taken from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1913. The Journal was a leading fashion publication of the time, known for its elegant and innovative designs. The woman's refined and elegant appearance is reminiscent of the Parisians' chic fashion sense during this period. The image also reflects the influences of Orientalism and the Ballets Russes, which were popular trends during the Belle Époque and Art Deco eras. The woman's midi-length outfit and the use of a fan as an accessory are evocative of the Orientalist aesthetic, while the overall design and detailing of the gown are reminiscent of the innovative and avant-garde costumes created for the Ballets Russes. This beautiful and intricately detailed image is a testament to the timeless allure of fashion during the Belle Époque and Art Deco eras. It captures the essence of elegance, sophistication, and luxury that continues to inspire fashion designers and enthusiasts to this day.
