    Elegant 1915 Black Faille Gown: Timeless Parisian Chic

    $19.95

    This photograph captures a striking black faille gown designed by the renowned French fashion designer Jeanne Lanvin, dating to November 1915. At this point in history, womens fashion was undergoing significant changes, influenced by both the social dynamics of World War I and advancements in textile production. Lanvin, known for her elegant designs and use of luxurious fabrics, played a crucial role in shaping the modern silhouette of womens clothing. This gown exemplifies the sophisticated yet practical styles that emerged during this era, reflecting a shift from the opulence of earlier fashions towards more streamlined and wearable designs.

    Produced by Bain News Service in New York City, this image serves as a valuable historical record, documenting the fashion trends of the early 20th century. The faille fabric used in the gown is notable for its soft sheen and structured drape, showcasing Lanvins skillful combination of elegance and comfort. The details captured in this photograph allow us to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistic vision behind the garment. By examining designs like this one, we gain clarity on how fashion not only reflects aesthetic preferences but also responds to the cultural and economic shifts of its time. This gown, like many from Lanvins collection, continues to influence modern fashion and illustrates the enduring legacy of early 20th-century design.
