EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a fashionable woman of the early 20th century, elegantly dressed in a taffeta gown with a striped silk apron and holding a Chinese umbrella. The robe de taffetas, or taffeta dress, is a timeless classic, its rich texture and luxurious sheen adding an air of sophistication and opulence. The voile de soie raye, or striped silk, apron adds a playful contrast to the formal dress, while the crepe cape lends an element of practicality and protection against the elements. The woman's ensemble is further enhanced by the addition of a velvet gilet, or jacket, in a deep blue hue, and a velvet robe bleu velours, or blue velvet robe, worn as a cape. She completes her look with a Lussy parasol, its intricate design and delicate fabric a perfect complement to her outfit. This handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching is an illustration from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1914. The image is reminiscent of the Art Deco and Belle Epoque periods, with their emphasis on ornate detailing and exotic influences, as seen in the Chinese umbrella and the oriental motifs present in the parasol design. The image also brings to mind the influence of the Ballets Russes and the chic Parisians of the time, with their love for fashion and the avant-garde. This beautiful print is a testament to the enduring allure of fashion history and the captivating artistry of the past.
