EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Woman in an old-taffeta cape with a parrot, 1913" by Georges Barbier showcases the elegance and opulence of the Belle Époque era. The woman is adorned in a stunning cape made from old taffeta fabric, embellished with a vibrant caterpillar green design. Her muff is intricately embroidered with pearls, adding to her luxurious ensemble. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the parrot perched on a stand beside her. Chained but still majestic, it adds an exotic touch to the scene. The handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching technique used by Barbier brings out the vibrancy and richness of colors in this fashion plate. This artwork was originally published as an illustration in Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, capturing the essence of early 20th-century French fashion trends. It reflects both Art Deco influences and Orientalism that were prevalent during that time. Georges Barbier was renowned for his exquisite illustrations and costume designs for ballets russes and Parisian fashion shows. His work epitomizes chic sophistication and artistic flair. This print transports us back to a bygone era when fashion was seen as art itself. It serves as a reminder of the creativity and craftsmanship that went into creating these elaborate ensembles.
