Madeleine Vionnet

1936

Madeleine Vionnet was a consummate technician, particularly known for her innovative use of the bias cut and the mathematically precise construction of her garments. Minimalist by philosophy, Vionnet’s construction details were often executed so as to create decorative effects, obviating the need for any trimming.- The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Another colourization! I’m not as happy with this one; her hair just didn’t turn out right. But I love the way her skin came out.
