Coco Chanel, Jeanne Lanvin, Elsa Schiaparelli, and Madeleine Vionnet are
all in Vancouver and ready for you to take notice.
Well, their couture creations are on display as part of Museum
of Vancouvers Art Deco: Extravagant Glamour Between the Wars
exhibition. The 66 featured garments transport the viewer to fashions
most decadent era. Among the glitzy European frocks are a few notable
Vancouverites: a silk and silver lame evening gown marked Donaldsons,
and charmingly sweet navy polka dot dress from the Aurora Dress Company.
It seems that our city was just as roaring as the more fashionably
favoured metropolises. Anya Georgijevic
