Note
A wonderful example of the revolution ignited by the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes in 1925, during which the aesthetics of Art Nouveau were turned on their heads.
Lines became cleaner and more sober with geometry as their guide...and, in a rare moment of collaboration, worked with the considerations of the fashion world...the clip - with its playful versatility - became a popular choice. Lapels, hat rims, dress waistlines, bangle cuffs...they were there to embellish any turnover.
This clip employs a popular stylistic choice from the period by complimenting carpets of diamonds with polished white metal surfaces - in this instance, in a gentle slope that plays with the light.
