EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image captures the elegance and opulence of the Belle Époque and Art Deco eras, as depicted in this handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1912. The woman in the foreground wears an exquisite embroidered chiffon dress and open jacket, trimmed with skunk fur, her fan delicately balanced in one hand. Her attire, designed by the renowned fashion houses of Jeanne Lanvin, Paquin, or perhaps even George Barbier, Paul Iribe, or Irène Bidou-Roure, embodies the Orientalist influences that dominated fashion during this period. The intricate embroidery and trimming on her dress and jacket are a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that were hallmarks of high fashion during this time. In the background, a child in a coral pink smock with swan trim plays amongst a group of Parisians, adding a touch of whimsy and lightness to the scene. The use of stencil etching and handcolouring adds to the artisanal quality of the image, further emphasizing the chic and sophisticated nature of the fashion on display. The ballet Russes and their influence on the fashion world during this period are also evident in the graceful lines and fluid movements suggested by the woman's pose and the child's playful gesture. This image offers a glimpse into the world of Parisian fashion during the Belle Époque and Art Deco eras, a time of beauty, elegance, and innovation.
