Paul Poiret (1879-1944) is generally recognized as the first "modern" fashion designer, and his influence on 20th century fashion was profound. It is Poiret who is remembered for freeing women from 19th century corsets, although he then hobbled them with extremely narrow skirt hems, and for modernizing the Victorian silhouette. As the Parisian designer explained, "I like a plain gown, cut from light and supple fabric, which falls from the shoulders to the feet in long, straight folds, like thick liquid, just touching the outline of the figure and throwing shadow and ling over the moving form."
The fully-lined Cocoon Coat offered here was designed around 1913-1919. It features bat wing sleeves, one-piece front/back body, neckband, and hobble skirt. The style is timeless and looks just as stunning over a T-shirt and leggings as over evening clothes.
The Reticule (drawstring bag) is typical of the same period. The easy-sew pouch closes with decorative cording and is embellished with a tassel that hangs from the bottom.
