EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a grand evening dress in silver brocade, adorned with a striking blue wig and feathers, from the Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1914. The dress, designed by Tommaso Antongini, is a masterpiece of Art Deco and Belle Epoque fashion. The silver brocade fabric shimmers in the soft light of the evening, creating an allure that is both elegant and mysterious. The blue wig, accessorized with feathers, adds an air of exoticism and allure, reminiscent of the Orientalism that was popular during this period. The dress itself is a beautiful combination of contrasting textures and colors. The burgundy satin skirt flows gracefully, while the black velvet jacket adds a touch of sophistication and structure. The bows on the jacket, made of the same blue velvet as the wig, add a playful and feminine touch. The overall effect is one of chic glamour, perfect for a night at the ballets Russes or a high society event. This image is a handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching, which adds to its intricate and detailed appearance. The use of stencils allowed for precise and intricate detailing, resulting in a stunning and timeless piece of fashion history. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and artistry of fashion during the early 20th century, and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of grand evening wear.
