EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a selection of fashionable gowns inspired by the modern designs of renowned theatrical costumer, Leon Bakst. Best known for his groundbreaking work with the Ballets Russe, Bakst's innovative and artistic approach to costume design left an indelible mark on the fashion world of the early 20th century. In this photograph from 1913, the elegant dresses, crafted by the esteemed fashion house of Paquin, reflect the influence of Bakst's distinctive style. The flowing lines, intricate beadwork, and bold color palette are all reminiscent of the Russian artist's iconic creations. Accompanying these stunning gowns are chic hats designed by Camille-Roger and elegant shoes by Hellstern. The hats, with their unique shapes and ornate adornments, add a playful and artistic touch to the ensembles, while the shoes, with their delicate straps and high heels, complete the look of sophistication and elegance. The fusion of Bakst's avant-garde designs and the expert craftsmanship of Paquin, Camille-Roger, and Hellstern resulted in a collection of outfits that truly embodied the modern and artistic spirit of the era. This photograph is a testament to the enduring influence of Leon Bakst on the world of fashion, and serves as a reminder of the beauty and creativity that defined the fashionable world of 1913.
