EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a woman of elegance and refinement, dressed in a stunning crepe de chine white evening gown from the Belle Époque era. The dress, with its simple yet elegant lines, is adorned with intricate silver embroidery, adding a touch of glamour and sophistication. The piece de resistance of her attire is the magnificent cape made of otter and skunk fur, a luxurious and exotic accessory that was a hallmark of high fashion during the Art Deco period. The cape, lined with a floral pattern, is draped over her shoulders, adding a sense of drama and allure. The woman completes her look with a skull cap adorned with plumes, adding a hint of orientalism to her ensemble. The velvet robe de soir, or evening robe, in amaranth color, adds a rich and velvety texture to the outfit. This fashion plate, hand-colored pochoir etching after an illustration by George Barbier from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1912, is a testament to the opulence and extravagance of the era. The image evokes the glamour and sophistication of the Ballets Russes and the Parisian high society of the time. The intricate details of the illustration, from the delicate embroidery to the exotic fur, transport us back to a bygone era of elegance and refinement.
