"When a woman smiles, then her dress should too."

I made a presentation on Madeleine Vionnet. She is known as the "queen of the bias cut" and "the archetect of dressmaking". She hated the whimsical trends of the fashion industry yet she was the most influential designer of the 20th century. She wanted to stay true to enhancing woman's natural beauty. She perfected the art of matching fabric to flow and enhance woman's movement. Vionnet is my favorite designer hands down, she revolutionized the fashion industry.
She was inspired by dances of Isadora Duncan and Grecian art. That is why her dresses are so fluid. She was a true genius with clothing.
