Madame Gres : sphinx of fashion

Mears, Patricia2008
Books, Manuscripts
The volume discusses how sculpture and the construction of non-western clothing inspired Madame Alix Gres' fashion, and examines numerous couture versions of her saris, ponchos, serapes, caftans, three-dimensional sculptural pieces, and Grecian gowns. In addition, the book constructs a timeline of her career and discusses her secretive private life, including the circumstances of her death, inexplicably concealed by her daughter for over a year.
