A rare Boué Soeurs pale-pink silk-taffeta Robe de Style, model 'Bouquetière', 1927-28

Labelled, with original chiffon-covered panniers to interior, metallic lace panel to front skirt, appliquéd with beaded lamé vase filled with fine ribbon-work blooms, tiers of chiffon flounces falling to rear skirt and large bow adorning the rear waist, bust approx 86cm, 34in.

'Bouquetière' is photographed in the May 1928 issue of 'Les Modes', captioned:

'In light blue taffeta, with chiffon frills, basket of crumpled flowers on gold lace' as well as in Women's Wear Daily, 23 March 1928. A Boué Sœurs studio sketch of a grass-green version of this design is kept at Palais Galliera. The Robe de Style gown was a fashion phenomenon occurring from the teens through to the 1920s - Boué Sœurs and Jeanne Lanvin being the main proponents, although most fashion houses included them in their repertoire. The romantic and highly impractical 18th century-inspired gown with hooped pannier hips, worn as evening wear, captured the imaginations of women emerging from the gloom and privations of the Great War. The style also expressed the renewed fascination with the golden age of French art and aristocracy in the period after the Great War, which transpired in fashion, architecture and the decorative arts. Examples are rare.

The Connection between the Creator and Their Interiors

February 4, 2023

An innovative exhibit of more than 70 garments from female fashion designers including Jeanne Paquin, Robe à la Française, and Madame Hardy, showcasing how and why the aesthetics of interior decoration influenced their brands.

In the late 19th century when interior decoration became a possible profession, female designers constantly used French interiors to influence their own styles and designs to enrich their brand leading to an influx number of women starting haute couture houses in the fashion capitals of the world. Ultimately, these fashion creators devoted themselves to their luxe or modest interiors at home as they also carefully crafted their couture salons with their garments serving as testaments for the art of decoration.

The Museum at FIT showcases this connection, between the female creator and their interiors, as it dives into the different eras in fashion and how specific trends in interior entered into design. In the 1890s during the Belle Époque, luxurious silks dominated inside the home which translated to garments where a dramatic and overly feminine design was then produced and vice versa. Jeanne Paquin, who opened her couture house in 1891, rose to fame during the luxurious Belle Époque where she created innovative designs that epitomized the era by using silk taffeta and silk chiffon. Her success led her to become a powerful figure in fashion as the location of her couture house, on rue de Paix, reflected the exclusivity of her brand which later took abroad in London. Her couture shop in Paris was decorated in a modern and elegant way with a rococo revival style as she loved interiors and modern furnishings and was influenced by them like many female designers in her time and there on after.

During the 1890s to 1970s, many female designers felt that "the interior of a home is a natural project of the soul," as Coco Chanel herself stated.

DESIGNING WOMEN: FASHION CREATORS AND THEIR INTERIORS is on free display on W 27th Street, at FIT, until February 08, 2023.
