EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching captures the elegance and sophistication of a woman's evening attire during the Belle Epoque and Art Deco eras. The image is based on an illustration by Gaudray d'Anjou, published in Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes in Paris in 1914. The woman in the print is wearing a robe de serge garnie de tresse de soie, or a serge dress trimmed with silk braid. The dress is paired with a taffeta gilet, a short jacket, adding an extra layer of warmth and style to the ensemble. The serge fabric, a heavy and luxurious material, is adorned with silver brocade, adding a touch of grandeur and opulence. The woman's wig, styled in a classic updo, is accessorized with blue feathers and aigrettes, adding a playful and exotic touch to the outfit. Her silver brooch and earrings add a final touch of glamour to the ensemble. The influence of Orientalism and the Ballets Russes is evident in the design, with its intricate patterns and bold colours. The Art Deco style, characterized by geometric shapes and clean lines, is also present in the simple yet elegant lines of the gilet. This print is a beautiful example of the chic and sophisticated fashion of the time, reflecting the Parisian culture and the influence of the arts on fashion. The intricate handcoloured stencil etching technique adds a level of detail and artistry to the image, making it a true work of art.
