Inspirations: The House of Vionnet

Divine fashion designed by the legendary Madeleine Vionnet.  Born in 1876 in Paris, she began working at the age of twelve, founded her label in 1912 and presented her last collection in 1939.  Her gowns were worn by actresses such as Marlene Dietrich and Katherine Hepburn, princesses and society women of the day.  The gowns speak for themselves; what could be more elegant—

Ethereal —

Sexy —

Chic —

Timeless —

The House of Vionnet was relaunched in 2007.
