Haute Couture Soirée 1935

"Haute Couture Soirée" is a 1935 photograph by the Hungarian-French photographer Brassai, renowned for his exploration of Parisian nightlife. The image captures the elegance of a woman in an elaborate gown, her reflection subtly visible in the background. The contrasting textures of the woman's soft dress against the sharp lines of her hat and the ornate, almost architectural, ruffles create a visually engaging composition. The photograph exemplifies Brassai's signature style, blending candid moments with sophisticated composition and an intimate understanding of Parisian society.
