Twee modellen met geborduurde jassen van de Wiener Werkstätte 1920 - 1930

This photograph shows two models wearing embroidered jackets, likely captured in a studio with natural light. You can see it in the soft shadows. The photo’s sepia tone gives a sense of faded glamour, like a memory softened with age. I wonder, was the photographer trying to capture the spirit of the Wiener Werkstätte, focusing on the decorative arts? I can imagine them carefully arranging the models, wanting to show off the craftsmanship. The way the fabric drapes, the intricate embroidery, the subtle texture of the fur… it all feels so tactile. Think about the embroiderers, their hands moving with precision. Each stitch adding to the overall design. They might have been thinking about the women who would wear these jackets, and how their creations would add a touch of elegance to their lives. It’s like a conversation between the maker and the wearer, across time and space. This photograph reminds me how the most beautiful things often come from a collective effort.
