Babe Paley... As Truman said, "If she wasn't so perfect, she would be a perfect woman." Her fame began in 1934 when she was invited to the White House for a dance party. She was one of the sought-after beauties of the "it girl" movement of the period. And she began to be referred to as the embodiment of beauty and style in every magazine, including the pages of Vogue, of which she later became one of the editors. Erwin Blumenfeld describes his admiration for Babe with the sentence: "Her skin was so radiant that only Velasquez would have dared to paint her." She did not serve the monist goals of Moda and always managed to preserve her originality. Babe, who loves fashion but doesn't like to be in fashion (at least according to what was said afterwards), was very difficult to admire and was one of the sole aims of designers like Charles James, Chanel, Hubert de Givenchy or Valentino. And with this feature, she was elected to the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame in 1958. She was very professional in making magic touches to her original stance. She added a completely different atmosphere to fashion with her jewellery. Let's take a look at Babe jewelry as strong complements to her style today. #babepaley #barbaracushingmortimerpaley #icon #idol #itgirl #whitehouse #danceparty #chanel #valentino #gettyimages #getty #tiffany #tiffanyandco #charlesjames #valentino #givenchy #jeanschlumberger #erwinblumenfeld #truman #diamond #jewelry #brooch #earrings #necklace #pearl #pearlnecklace #pearls #hairaccessories #fashionhistory #jewelryhistory #history https://www.instagram.com/p/CRqiys5Llqx/?utm_medium=tumblr

Charles James | ‘La Sirène’ | c. 1956 ・・・ Charles James’s La Sirène (Mermaid) gown was created using a full-length, molded dress form that widened into a fishtail shape at the bottom. The fabric was folded and stitched to create a form-fitted silhouette, its precise tucks ending at the wearer’s knees to allow for ease of movement. ・・・ #charlesjames #fashion #dress #mermaid #couture #history @museumatfit https://www.instagram.com/defunctfashion/p/Burtw8ugCht/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14s96qi8c9x1k

'Charles James: The Couture Secrets of Shape' should be required reading for anyone interested in the evolution of design The iconic shapes of American couturier Charles James transcend those of any other house of his time—or the present, for that matter. Relentlessly creative and open-minded, James famously lived at the Chelsea Hotel from 1964 until his death in 1978, paving the way for future generations of cross-pollination and experimentation in the arena of couture; today, he is rightly counted among the ranks of legends such as Christian Dior and Coco Chanel. New from Spector Books, ‘Charles James: The Couture Secrets of Shape’ is a beautifully designed, 398-page exploration of the designer's enigmatic life, from the perspective of his collaborators, those who have drawn inspiration from him, and the writings and archives of James himself. With more than 400 color reproductions, a facsimile of his 1973 manual, ‘The Charles James Approach to Structural Design,’ instructions for making patterns and forms, and in-depth texts by such noted contributors as Valerie Steele, Dorothea Mink, Carolin Roider, Rick Owens and Homer Layne (James’ last assistant), this massive, one-of-a-kind volume should be required reading for anyone interested in the evolution of design. Not to mention, the overall construction of the book makes it perfect for any fashion lover’s coffee table! —Reilly Davidson @spiralstaircase1 @spectorbooks #charlesjames @valerie_steele_fashion @dorothea_mink @ins_rickowens #homerlayne #rickowens #carolinroider #dorotheamink #valeriesteele #reillydavidson #couturesecretsofshape #couture #fashion #avantgardefashion #avantgardecouture https://www.instagram.com/p/BxhtU9iJzDG/?igshid=19gp02nrdt8pb

House & Garden visits Dominique de Menil at her Houston home on the opening of the family’s eponymous museum in 1987. Part III The opposite end of the Menil’s living room (see Part I) showcases Braque’s Interior with Palette over a grand piano selected by their designer, couturier Charles James - who also designed the Butterfly sofa, inspired by Man Ray’s Surrealist painting Observatory Time—The Lovers. The color scheme chosen by James was intended to compliment the Braque. Yep, that’s me in the second photo - taken three years ago by designer @wmtwigs ... who without I would have likely never seen the interiors of the Menil House, as it is not open to the public. The spaces are less layered than when Dominique presided over the house. Still, it was a thrill to experience this iconic home up close and personal. In the third photo, taken in the 1960’s, a tufted velvet-covered ottoman designed by Dominique grounds the center of the room.

Charles James | ‘Clover Leaf’ | c. 1953 ・・・ The American couturier Charles James was noted for his breathtakingly sculptural creations. A James gown, like this famous Four-Leaf Clover, was a masterful blending of romantic Belle Epoque elegance and sexy mid-twentieth-century glamour. His beginnings as a milliner informed his most spectacular effects, relying as they did on a layered infrastructure of nylon mesh, feather-boning, buckram, and horsehair braid. A James gown did not require hoops and crinolines to hold its form; it could literally stand on its own. ・・・ #charlesjames #fashion #dress #history #1950s https://www.instagram.com/defunctfashion/p/BuowTQCgva_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gdacyaz3sca0

Extraordinary design is always worth it. This captivating image (photographed by Cecil Beaton for Vogue in 1948) has a timeless, confectionary quality. The dresses are all by Charles James, who was said to be a sculptor whose medium was clothing. His gowns appeared to be soft, shapely clouds, but actually took a tremendous effort in their construction and fitting to give that effect. So here’s a life lesson from this stunning image: there’s a ton of work that goes into making something look effortless. . Thanks for sharing this iconic image @ladame.vintagefashion .
