EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Night of Oriental Elegance: A Parisian Woman in Pekine Velvet Waistcoat and Printed Sheath Dress" This image, taken from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes in 1912, showcases the epitome of Parisian fashion during the Belle Époque and Art Deco eras. The central figure is a woman of refined taste, dressed in an exquisite ensemble that embodies the spirit of orientalism and chic Parisian style. The woman dons a waistcoat made of Pekine velvet, an opulent fabric with a rich, deep black color and auburn undertones. The velvet waistcoat is paired with a striped, printed sheath dress, adding a dynamic contrast to the solid velvet. Her coiffure is adorned with a velvet hat and an elegant aigrette, complementing her regal appearance. In the background, a black boy in livery stands beside an automobile, adding an element of luxury and sophistication to the scene. The woman's nightgown, made of yellow mousseline, is visible on the bed, suggesting that she is preparing for a night out or a late evening at home. The room is tastefully decorated with white curtains and a dove motif, adding to the serene and tranquil atmosphere. This handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching, created by Fernand Simeon, captures the essence of the Belle Époque and Art Deco eras, with their emphasis on opulence, elegance, and oriental influences. The image also evokes the spirit of the Ballets Russes, a groundbreaking dance company that revolutionized the world of dance and fashion during this period. This print is a testament to the enduring allure of Parisian fashion and the timeless beauty of the Belle Époque and Art Deco eras.
