Did we know that it was to the stage that fashion owes the evolution of sleeves during the Restoration? That the Art Nouveau collar and line were launched by Sarah Bernhardt, when, in the 19th century, actresses became models to promote couture houses? In the 18th century, through a play of mirrors, court dresses and costumes were exhibited in the theater. From the following century, actresses demanded to have the silhouette of their time. After 1910, Operas and Ballets Russes inspired Paul Poiret and Jeanne Lanvin, while painters and decorators Léon Bakst and Natalia Goncharova became stylists, like Charles Bianchini in the 1890s. The 20th century concluded the marriage between couture and stage. Balenciaga, Balmain, Yves Saint Laurent, Jean Paul Gaultier, Karl Lagerfeld, Thierry Mugler, and Christian Lacroix have designed costumes for famous productions, while street fashion has made its way onto the stage, with actors appearing in the clothes of the average Joe and Joe. In a unique approach, this book, which opens with an interview with Christian Lacroix, renews the history of fashion and stage costume by comparing these two worlds since the 18th century to discover and explain their mutual influences.
