Femina, Mars 1928: 6: twee vrouwen in jurken van Mirande en Beer met twee details van jurken van Lucien Lelong en Redfern 1928

In this magazine spread, likely made using printmaking techniques around March 1928, we see an array of fashionable dresses. I can only imagine the possibilities, the sheer joy, in designing these garments. I bet the artist was excited to create these streamlined shapes. What was it like to be them? The process of making the dress, the feel of the fabric, so soft and draping. They are all so unique and wonderful! I find myself drawn to the dress on the left with the polka dots. You can see echoes of Sonia Delaunay, her bold geometric patterns, but also hints of Madeleine Vionnet's classic simplicity. Each era builds on the one before, responding and reacting, like an ongoing conversation. Every artist absorbs and reinterprets, allowing for multiple interpretations and meanings, keeping the dialogue alive.
