EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite evening dress from the House of Worth, dating back to 1902-03. The designer behind this stunning creation is none other than Jean-Philippe Worth, a prominent figure in French fashion history. Founded in 1858, the House of Worth was renowned for its innovative designs and luxurious garments. The album page itself is made of paper and card, adorned with intricate ink detailing. As for the costume featured in the photograph, it is crafted from silk net (tulle), silk chiffon, silk satin, lace, sequins, and fabric flowers. The dress mesmerizes with its silver and green sequin swags that heavily decorate the white net fabric. The low neckline and delicate shoulder straps exude elegance while armbands with lace pendant sleeves add a touch of femininity. The draped lace and net bodice beautifully complement the corsage of violets adorning it. A pleated satin waistband cinches the silhouette before cascading into a trained skirt featuring a lace flounce at the hem. This image captures not only an iconic piece from fashion history but also represents timeless style and sophistication. It serves as a reminder of how clothing can be transformed into wearable art through meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. With its impeccable design elements captured by a talented French photographer from the 20th century, this photograph continues to inspire contemporary designers today.
