EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from the French fashion magazine "Les Modes Parisiennes" in its 231st issue, published in 1864. The focus of this edition is the exquisite creations of the renowned Dutch designer Madame Alexandre Ghijs. Madame Ghijs was a leading figure in Parisian fashion during the mid-19th century and her designs were highly sought after by the aristocracy and fashionable women of Europe. The illustration showcases a selection of Ghijs' dresses, each one more elegant and intricately detailed than the last. The dresses are adorned with delicate lace, rich velvet, and sumptuous satin, creating a visual feast for the eyes. The hourglass silhouette, a hallmark of the Victorian era, is accentuated by the use of corsets and bustles. The hairstyles, created by Madame Bouvy Sain Saullieu, complement the dresses perfectly. The women's hair is styled in elaborate updos, adorned with flowers and ribbons, adding an air of sophistication and femininity to the overall look. This engraving, with its meticulous attention to detail, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. The use of line engraving, pencil, and watercolor paint brings the dresses to life, allowing us to appreciate their beauty and intricacy in a way that goes beyond the physical garment. This image is a valuable piece of fashion history, offering a glimpse into the world of Parisian fashion during the 1860s and the influential designers who shaped it. It is a treasure from the Rijksmuseum's collection, a reminder of the rich heritage of fashion and the role it plays in reflecting the culture and society of a particular era.
