Art deco fashion - The Pepin Press

"In the 1920s, not only were art and architecture influenced by Art Deco, but it extended to fashion too. Designers were inspired by the stage sets of the Ballets Russes, the fabric designs and costumes of Léon Bakst and creations by the Wiener Werkstätte, to name but a few. Women's increasing participation in sport, together with the introduction of energetic dance styles, meant that the way women dressed had to change, and technical advances gave rise to exciting new fabrics. These factors played a role in a real fashion revolution: fashion designers created new sihouettes and innovative details, and used new colours and luxurious fabrics. Of equal importance was the use of typical Art Deco patterns for textile decoration. Art Deco Fashion contains more than 1000 beautiful fashion plates, including designs from famous Art Deco designers sush as Paul Poiret, Charles Frederick Worth and Lucien Lelong. This book comes with a free CD-ROM containing wonderful Art Deco patterns that have been meticulously restored from period originals."
