Original: Red Velvet Designer Dress, 1919

Happy New Year!


Velvet dress 1919 from LACMA
Red velvet dress with gold print, embossing, and beadwork.
Mariano Fortuny, 1919, Italy. LACMA collection.


This dress caught my eye for the lines. It has a very straight shape with no waist, anticipating the next decade of fashionable silhouettes. The rich textures that comes through (even in a dark photograph) must be stunning in person.
