EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning evening dress, designed by August Abernard for Patou in 1931, is a captivating example of the elegance and sophistication of women's fashion during the Roaring Twenties and early 1930s. The flaring gored floral print skirt, with its delicate and intricate design, creates a sense of movement and energy, while the draped V-neckline and plunging V-back add an alluring and seductive touch. The long, light weight scarf, worn draped seductively around the shoulders, adds an extra layer of glamour and mystery to the ensemble. The history of this beautiful costume piece is as intriguing as its design. The dress, made of a backless fabric, was likely worn for a formal occasion or a glamorous evening out. The shoulder straps, while not visible in this image, would have provided support and stability for the wearer. The dress's historical significance is further emphasized by its association with Patou, a renowned French fashion house known for its innovative and avant-garde designs. The floral print, with its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, is reminiscent of the Art Deco movement, which was characterized by its love of geometric shapes, bold colors, and intricate patterns. The long, flowing lines of the skirt and the draped fabric of the neckline and back add to the overall sense of fluidity and grace. This photograph, taken in December of 1931, captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back in time to an age of glamour, elegance, and sophistication. The dress, with its intricate design and seductive allure, remains a testament to the enduring power of fashion to captivate and inspire.
