EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pochoir (stencil) etching captures the essence of early 20th century Parisian chic in this image of a woman elegantly seated on a chaise longue, dressed in a gaberdine suit with hand-embroidered frills. The fine wool gaberdine dress, with its striped pekin silk lining, is accentuated by the delicate hand-embroidered frills, adding a feminine touch to the otherwise masculine fabric. The woman's tunic, made of taffeta, is also adorned with intricate hand-embroidery, as are the frilled sleeves of her blouse. Her hat, with its wisteria design, complements the overall orientalist theme of the outfit. The illustration, taken from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes in 1914, was created by the renowned Danish artist Gerda Wegener. Wegener was a prominent figure in the Parisian art scene, known for her work with the Ballets Russes and her contributions to fashion plates. Her illustrations, characterized by their Art Deco and Belle Epoque influences, were widely popular during this period. The woman's outfit, with its orientalist influences and hand-embroidered details, reflects the fashion trends of the time. The gabardine suit, a staple in Parisian wardrobes, was often worn with frilled blouses and taffeta tunics, creating a sophisticated and elegant look. The use of hand-embroidery added a personal touch to each garment, making it a prized possession for the fashionable Parisian woman. This pochoir etching is a beautiful example of the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating fashion plates during the early 20th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the image to life, transporting us back in time to the chic and stylish world of Parisian fashion.
