Madeleine Vionnet

I have always wondered how two people of equal talent at their particular field, one of the success and transcends generations and the other are a mere thought on someone's distant memory.  This is very much the case of Madeleine Vionnet.

She was a contemporary of Coco Chanel and like Chanel, changed the fashion world at the beginning of the twentieth century forever.  Some of the latest trends such as draping or Grecian style was invented by Vionnet; the bias cut, was pioneer and perfected by her; the use of geometric and viewpoint is nothing short of pure artistry.......and only a few fashion students or designers would know first hand who she was or what contribution she has made to fashion.

I love the 1920 and 1930's; I think there are the most stylish of all decades, so here it is my tribute to one of the greatest designers of all time.....thank you Madam Vionnet!
