EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning evening coat, designed by the renowned French fashion designer Paul Poiret in 1922, is a testament to the elegance and extravagance of the Roaring Twenties. The voluminous cape-like design features an oblong yoke in a beautiful floral fabric, with a rounded hem at the back and a bold red border at the front. The coat's oblong yoke creates a dramatic silhouette, drawing the eye to the wearer's slender waist and accentuating the feminine curves. The mirror reflection in the image adds an element of vanity and self-indulgence, as the woman gazes at herself in admiration. The coat's long train sweeps the floor, creating a sense of grandeur and opulence. The model accessorizes the coat with drop earrings and a headband, adding to the overall glamour of the ensemble. Poiret was known for his innovative designs and his rejection of the corseted silhouette that had dominated women's fashion for centuries. Instead, he championed a more natural and fluid look, allowing women to move freely and express their individuality. This evening coat is a prime example of Poiret's vision for women's fashion, with its soft, flowing lines and delicate floral fabric. The coat's oblong yoke and rounded hem are reminiscent of the shapes found in traditional peonies, adding to the floral theme of the design. The red border at the front adds a pop of color and a sense of drama, making this an unforgettable piece of fashion history.
