Ultra Modern Silhouettes and Quaint Revivals at Chantilly
At Chantilly race meet observers noted two dress modes, one modern with seamless lines echoing Paris ballet designs by Bankt and Poiret, and a quaint nineteenth century revival. Photographs show a black sprigged taffeta gown with forward fullness, a silver gray tafetta tunic ensemble, and a midsummer tailored gray and white check suit, plus hats, parasols, and accessories reflecting both trends.
