Blouse

Designer Madame Grès (Germaine Émilie Krebs) French

Not on view

This blouse is a rare example of a separate by Alix Barton, known as Madame Grès. She applied her pleating and draping skills to great sculptural effect: the stand-up collar and elephantine sleeves, combined with the delicate hooks and eyes front closure, give this blouse, worn by day, the allure of a sculptural evening gown.
