EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the elegance and allure of a 1912 Theatre Coat designed by the renowned French fashion house, Paquin. The coat, crafted in an exotic pink and black kimono style, is a breathtaking example of the Chinoiserie trend that swept through European fashion during the Edwardian era. The coat is embellished with intricate Chinese embroidery, adding an air of mystery and exoticism. The fur trim adds an extra layer of luxury and warmth, making it the perfect choice for an evening at the theatre. The model's headdress is equally impressive, adorned with embroidery and beads, adding to the overall Oriental theme of the ensemble. The curtain in the background adds a theatrical touch, further emphasizing the connection between fashion and the performing arts during this time. Paquin, founded in 1865, was a pioneer in the fashion industry and was known for its innovative designs and high-quality craftsmanship. This Theatre Coat, with its unique blend of Eastern and Western influences, is a testament to the company's vision and creativity. The coat's pink color and kimono style are reminiscent of traditional Japanese garments, but the use of Chinese embroidery and the addition of fur are distinctly European. This fusion of cultures is a reflection of the global interconnectedness that characterized the early 20th century. This photograph is a call to the past, inviting us to appreciate the rich history of fashion and the role it played in shaping our cultural landscape. The Theatre Coat by Paquin, with its exotic allure and timeless beauty, continues to captivate us today.
