Madame Gres
While the classically inspired 'Grecian' gown designed by Madame Alix Gres is recognized and admired, little else of the brilliant couturier's life or work has received close attention. This book analyzes Madame Gres' construction techniques and connects her designs to the art styles and movements that inspired and informed her aesthetic.
