Madeleine Vionnet - Jacqueline Demornex - 1st U. S. edition, New York, 1991
About the Item
A Rizzoli publication, 1st U. S. edition, New York, 1991. Hardback with English text. Translated from the original French edition.
Synonymous with Haute Couture, Madame Vionnet’s sensuous yet technically excellent couture lent her the reputation of being ‘the architect among dressmakers’. Renowned for her invention of the bias cut, which sumptuously drapes into sinuous folds following the natural curves of the female body, it was an unparalleled invention which highlighted a dignified, classic yet modern and femme fatale ideal femme of the 30s
. An admirer of Grecian statues, adding a dash of Art Deco with a sprinkle of borrowed Victorian flair. Vionnet’s dedication to the female form inspired designers such as Azzedine Alaïa and Jacques Griffe, and this opulently illustrated volume pays deserving tribute to her creative genius.
