New Fashion of Artist L.S. Bakst

New Fashion of Artist L.S. Bakst
New fashion is a witty transformation. Of what? Of a peasant’s sheepskin coat, a peasant’s cap. A modern Parisian lady, wearing a sheepskin, leather, or woolen coat, fur-trimmed “a la Bakst”, looks very gracious and elegant, and her silhouette differs dramatically from previous, “pre-war” fashion. As seen in the pictures above, American ladies did not hesitate to wear modern style Russian clothes as well. It would be curious to know what position the German fashionmongers, who always copy the French ladies, will take. What are the chances they are going to dress up in Russian sheepskin coats?
