EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from 1914, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases two exquisite fashion designs by the renowned French couturier, Paul Poiret's house of Doucet. The image, titled "Fad for Capes: A Flounced Evening Cape by Doucet," features a stunning evening cape that embodies the elegance and opulence of the era. The cape, adorned with large rosette buttons and a luxurious fur collar, is a testament to the enduring fashion trend of capes during this period. In contrast, the second design, a "Tunic Dress with a Draped Tango Skirt," showcases a puffed tunic and a dramatic diagonal split. The tango, a popular dance of the time, influenced fashion trends, resulting in the creation of this dynamic and flowing design. The tunic dress is further accentuated by the intricately draped skirt, which adds an element of sophistication and allure. The photograph, which appears in a calendar from 1998, also features a terrace setting with urns filled with roses, adding to the overall beauty and charm of the scene. The models' graceful poses and the intricate details of the designs make this image a timeless piece of fashion history. The rosette buttons on the cape and the large, fur collar are reminiscent of the ornate and flamboyant designs that defined the early 20th century. This photograph is a must-have for any fashion enthusiast or historian, offering a glimpse into the rich and fascinating world of haute couture from over a century ago.
