Dress design by Sonia Delaunay
A crepe de chine frock patterned with printed squares of yellow, blue and grey, designed by the artist Sonia Delaunay. Delaunay, born in Ukraine, moved to Paris where she was influenced by the cubist movement. Together with her husband, she adopted Orphism and eventually developed the concept of Simultaneity, where contrasting colours were overlapped and arranged in a harmonious rhythm. Delaunay successfully adapted this high art to more commercial applications, designing home interiors and, as in this case, womens fashion in collaboration with designers such as Jacques Heim and Jacques Doucet. Date: 1928

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion print showcases the groundbreaking design work of Sonia Delaunay, a pioneering artist born in Ukraine who made a name for herself in the artistic hub of Paris during the 1920s. Delaunay was deeply influenced by the cubist movement and, together with her husband Robert Delaunay, adopted the artistic style of Orphism. Orphism emphasized the use of bold, contrasting colors arranged in a harmonious rhythm, a concept that Delaunay eventually developed into the idea of Simultaneity. In this exquisite design from 1928, Delaunay's innovative approach to art is beautifully translated into a crepe de chine frock. The dress is adorned with a vibrant pattern of squares in yellow, blue, and grey, which exemplifies Delaunay's commitment to exploring the interplay of color and form. Delaunay's artistic vision extended beyond the realm of fine art, as she collaborated with renowned fashion designers Jacques Heim and Jacques Doucet to bring her designs to the world of haute couture. Her collaborations allowed her to bridge the gap between the art world and the fashion industry, resulting in a unique fusion of artistic expression and functional clothing. This print is a testament to Delaunay's ability to transcend artistic boundaries and make a lasting impact on both the art and fashion scenes during the 1920s. The dress, with its bold colors and geometric pattern, continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
