Pavane Evening Gown by Worth

1921

Step into the glamorous world of 1921 Paris with this fashion illustration by George Barbier. Created for the *Gazette du Bon Ton* (Gazette of Good Taste), it features a woman in a 'Pavane' evening gown by the legendary fashion house Worth. She clutches a giant pink feather fan, looking ready for a slow, processional dance, while a discarded mask on the floor hints at a wild masquerade party she just left. Barbier was a leading figure of the Art Deco movement and part of the 'Knights of the Bracelet,' a group of illustrators who basically invented the modern look of high fashion.
