GATSBY 20s I.MAGNIN Parisian Floral Lamé Dress • Medium

BLUE ROSE GARDEN
An exquisite reflection of Jazz Age sophistication, this Parisian piece by Chez I. Magnin & Co. embodies the era’s Art Deco elegance. Its blue-violet tones glows with a soft iridescence, while threads of silver lamé metallic shimmer across the surface, catching the light with a subtle, captivating brilliance.

The silhouette is quintessentially 1920s, with a relaxed, straight bodice that falls to a low, dropped waist, elongating the figure while allowing for fluid motion. There's a wrap around the waist with rose-like appliques in the same material along the left side. Soft and silky textural contrasts within the many layers create depth, giving the dress a dynamic, almost liquid appearance. Hook clasp closures on the inside lining. This piece effortlessly embodies the transatlantic style influence suggested by its California to Paris origins, where West Coast ease meets Parisian chic. A rare and radiant garment, it stands as a testament to the bold, liberated fashion of the Roaring Twenties.
