Pajamas
Design House Callot Soeurs French
Not on view
The four sister dressmakers at the head of Callot Soeurs were known for innovative designs that drew on the kimono’s structure and Eastern modes of dress in combination with Art Deco aesthetics and an elegant, relaxed modern lifestyle. The barrier between leisure and formal dress was permeable in the 1910s and 1920s, as is evidenced by these pajamas, which were intended for informal wear in the boudoir as well as in the drawing room. Their abstract, Art Deco–like pattern further testifies to the progressive nature of the garment.
