The Ermines
1912
Step into the glamorous world of 1912 Paris fashion! Georges Lepape captures a woman draped in a luxurious white ermine coat, a creation by the legendary couturier Paul Poiret who famously freed women from corsets. Notice her impossibly long, elegant fingers and the bold, starry blue skirt peeking out from the fur—classic Poiret flair that favored fluid, exotic shapes. The checkered floor and grand columns set the stage for a high-society promenade, showcasing a stylized aesthetic that bridged Art Nouveau elegance with the coming Art Deco era.
