About the book >.>.> Renowned mistress of the bias cut Madeleine Vionnet won acclaim for her innovative and daring fashion designs in the 1920s and 1930s. Her remarkable dresses perfectly geometrical yet apparently limp and shapeless until worn were first noticed in Paris by the artist Lanthelme who helped the designer to establish her own house. By the early 1930s with an international clientele and a workforce of over 1200 women Vionnet reached the pinnacle of her enormous success and her inspiring designs continue to be influential today.
