EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the essence of fashion history with the Bakst Hobble Skirt, designed and drawn by Bakst and made by Paquin in 1912. The skirt features a unique cut-away at the front, creating a split that allows the wearer to walk while still maintaining a sense of style. Despite its impracticality, this hobble skirt showcases the creativity and innovation of early 20th century fashion design.
The checkerboard pattern adds an element of whimsy to this otherwise constrained garment, while the incongruous ruff provides a touch of unexpected flair. Women who wore these skirts were not only making a bold fashion statement but also challenging societal norms that dictated how they should dress and move.
The cloche silhouette paired with this restrictive skirt creates a fascinating juxtaposition between freedom and constraint, highlighting the complexities of women's fashion during this time period. This historical piece serves as a reminder of how clothing can be both functional and expressive, pushing boundaries and redefining traditional notions of femininity.
Overall, this print is a testament to the artistry and ingenuity of designers like Bakst and Paquin who dared to push the limits of what was considered acceptable in women's fashion.
