Evening Turban with Aigrette
Camille Roger1910 - 1912
Kunstgewerbemuseum, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin
Berlin, Germany
This oriental-style evening turban is made of overlapping layers of golden gauze. The front is adorned by a decorative clasp of gold coloured metal with blue and green enamelled dots framed in blue wooden beads that holds an orange aigrette with feathers. The 1910 Paris performances of Serge Diaghilev’s “Ballets Russes” inspired both fashion designers and dressmakers and served as a model for oriental-style dresses and hats such as that seen here.
