Paul Poiret, probably the most famous fashion designer of the 20th century, had a strong taste for the sense of celebration. After the aesthetic shock provoked by the first performance of the Ballets Russes in 1909 at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, Paul Poiret understood the interest of orientalist theatricality for his creations. Himself the investigator of memorable transvestite parties such as Les Mille et Deuxième Nuit (1911) and Bacchus (1912), the designer's genius was to associate himself with the greatest artists of his time, including Isadora Duncan, Paul Iribe, Raoul Dufy, Georges Barbier and Colette. His participation in the 1925 Paris Universal Exhibition confirmed his worldwide reputation. At the height of his fame, Paul Poiret composed the most explosive ball gowns of his time.
