Belle Current Depicted Elongated Epoque Extra Feather Gaunt Height Illustrates Liane Plumed Skirt Suggested Trained Worn 1901
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from 1901 showcases the elegant and fashionable silhouette of the Edwardian era, as depicted in a caricature of the renowned actress Liane de Pougy. The current fashion trends of the time are illustrated in this striking photograph, with the extra height suggested by the plumed picture hat and trained skirt. Liane's graceful figure is further accentuated by the addition of a white feather boa, which adds an air of sophistication and glamour. The silhouette of the Edwardian era was characterized by a gaunt figure, elongated neck, and an S-curve in the waistline. Women of the time sought to achieve this desirable figure through corsets and other restrictive garments. The use of picture hats, which were large and ornate, and trained skirts, which were long and flowing, were also popular fashion choices. Liane de Pougy, a French actress and courtesan, was a symbol of the Belle Epoque and a muse for many artists and writers of the time. Her image was often depicted in caricatures and illustrations, which helped to popularize the fashion trends of the era. This photograph, with its playful and exaggerated representation of Liane's outfit, provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and culture of the early 20th century.
