A true find ! Famous for the bias cut Madeleine Vionnets sophisticated approach to couture remains a pervasive influence today.
Eschewing artificial and restrictive padding and stiffening she liberated the female form with designs that integrated movement and comfort in the women’s fashion. She also championed unusual fabric that were luxurious and sensual, yet simple and modern - chiffon, silk, crepe de chine and gabardine. Her most revolutionary creation, the handkerchief dress., cowl neck , and halter top cling and seamlessly move with wearer. Vionnets principles of elegance, movement and architectural forms, and timeless style continue to inform contemporary fashion.
This lavishly, illustrated book, showcases Vionnets daringly original design photographed, especially for this book alongside original sketches and archival images by such icons as Horst and Hoyningen - Huene.
309 pages , hardcover, published September 2009.
