EDITORS COMMENTS
This image features a stunning side-by-side comparison of two elegant young women's dresses from the year 1913. The first dress, on the left, is a breathtaking creation in white crepon and orange taffeta. The delicate crepon fabric, which is characterized by its soft, wavy texture, gracefully cascades down the figure, while the vibrant orange taffeta adds a pop of color and playfulness to the ensemble. The dress is further adorned with intricate lace trim, adding an air of sophistication and femininity. The second dress, on the right, is a beautiful example of embroidered white fabric. The intricate floral and geometric designs, carefully stitched by hand, create a mesmerizing visual effect that is both elegant and timeless. The dress is completed with a long cape, adding an element of mystery and allure. This exquisite image is a handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching after an illustration by Armand Vallée from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1913. The illustration showcases the fashionable trends of the time, including the long, flowing lines of the dresses, the use of damask and trim, and the incorporation of orientalist influences, as evidenced by the bicorn hats and masks. This image is a beautiful representation of the Art Deco and Belle Époque eras, with their emphasis on opulence, elegance, and creativity. The young women in this image are likely preparing for a masquerade ball or other fancy event, as evidenced by the travestissements and the use of masks. The Parisians of the time were known for their chic and sophisticated sense of style, and this image is a testament to their enduring fashion legacy.
