Art of Fashion 2010 Design Competition
La Belle Epoque
October 2, 2010
The “Belle Époque” was the golden era between the end ofthe 19th century and the First World War – a time of decadence, elegance andsumptuous luxury, when art pushed boundaries, and the rise of diversions likecabaret and the can-can spoke to the rebellious and freewheeling spirit of thetimes. The Art of Fashion’s 2010 show, Belle Époque, payshomage to this glamourous and indulgent time – inspiring an unapologetic returnto sophistication, luxury and embellishment, and daring us to choose style overstatus quo.
