EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Veste de soie ecossaise, jupe de crepon de coton souris" (Scottish silk vest, crepe cotton skirt, with a cat playing with her parasol), showcases a woman of elegance and charm, dressed in the height of early 20th century fashion. The photograph is an exquisite handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching, taken from an illustration by Gerda Wegener for Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1914. The woman in the photograph sits gracefully in an armchair, her expression serene as she gazes off into the distance. She wears a vest of rich, vibrant Scottish silk, its intricate patterns and textures adding a touch of sophistication and allure. The vest is paired with a crepe cotton skirt, the fabric flowing softly around her legs, adding an air of lightness and grace. The woman's outfit is accessorized with a parasol, its feathers and plumes adding a playful touch to the ensemble. A cat, seemingly enamored with the parasol, can be seen playfully batting at it in the foreground. The overall design exudes the Art Deco and Belle Epoque influences that were popular during this time, with Orientalist and Ballets Russes costumes also making an impact on fashion. The French milliner Arlette Carus, known for her chic and innovative designs, likely played a role in creating this stunning outfit. The photograph, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a testament to the fashionable and artistic spirit of Paris during this era. This timeless image continues to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the past and the enduring allure of fashion history.
