that captures the vibrant
spirit of the Belle Époque.
Woman wearing a dress with a bustle,
USA, about 1890 (Beata)
"The bustle survived into the 1890s and early 20th century as a skirt support was still needed and the stylish shape dictated a curve in the back of the skirt to balance the curve of the bust in front. The bustle had completely disappeared by 1905, as the long corset of the early 20th century was now successful in shaping the body to protrude behind." (Beata)
Types of bustles (Beata)
Flatiron Building (1902) New York City, New York - the tallest building in the world at the time of its construction.(Beata)
Constructed from 1887–89 as the entrance to the 1889 World's Fair.
Bodice Mlle L. Guiquin (1895 USA)
Embroidered silk satin with metal beads, trimmed with sequined net, lined with silk and whalebone
Enormous sleeves swell out from the bodice of this day dress. They create an exaggerated shoulder line and emphasise the smallness of the wearer’s waist. Known as ‘gigot’ (‘leg-of-mutton’) sleeves, they were highly fashionable between 1894 and 1896 when women adopted them for all types of activities and occasions. The basic shape was similar to that of sleeves during the 1830s. Like those sleeves they rapidly diminished in size after a few years

House of Worth
This long evening mantle made of purple silk, is embroidered with flowers in shades of pink, blue, white and green. It has a dark blue velvet band on the front and at both wrists. The mantle is gathered at the front and at the back where a flower made of purple silk is applied.
The mantle shows the influence of Fauvism and Japonism had on colours and fashion styles during this period. Another powerful influence on fashion was Les Ballets Russes, with their Oriental-inspired themes and costumes. Evening mantles, such as this one, would become increasing fashionable especially during the early 1920s, when the public responded to the rage for anything Oriental.
Fashion in the 1920s was dominated by the
look. Straight and waistless, the style was modern and liberating. Delicate silk and chiffon became popular for underwear while girdles and bandeaux bras were worn to smooth the figure into the desired boyish shape. Hair was cropped short and close-fitting cloche hats became popular. Couture houses such as Callot Soeurs and
created evening dresses in light fabrics, worn with long strings of beads. And as skirts became shorter, shoes were a focal point: silver and gold glace kid was popular for evening wear
The fashion for rich and sensuous detail continued with fringed shawls, dresses embroidered in the Chinese style and evening coats trimmed with fur.
Chanel no. 5
, is a style of visual arts, architecture and design that first appeared in France just before World War I.It became popular in the 1920s and 1930s, and influenced the design of buildings, furniture, jewelry, fashion, cars, movie theaters, trains, ocean liners, and everyday objects such as radios and vacuum cleaners.
