Evening dress

Design House Callot Soeurs French

Not on view

Indicative of the Directoire Revival around 1910 with raised waist and columnar body, this gown suggests historical acuity. Its textile opulence speaks, however, more directly of its own era with hints of exoticism and with the rich textile combinations and complications of the early twentieth century.
