Attributed to Paul Poiret Gift of L. J. Cella III 1990.129.16 |
A repeating pattern of heraldic birds and the tree of life lends a vaguely Byzantine air to this evening coat, probably designed by Paul Poiret, one of the Parisian couturiers who maintained an interest in exoticism throughout his career.  |
