Design for a fancy-dress costume, Charles Frederick Worth, 1860s (made), Paris, Waterclour and pencil drawing, V&A, London, http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O577314/design-for-a-charles-frederick-worth/ #1 The Gothic Revival theme starts with this amazing drawing for a costume by Charles Frederick Worth who was a fashion designer in the 19th century. This particular piece was presumably created for the stage, however it is unsure it was ever used for an actual play or a ballet. The costume itself is using gothic architecture elements such as trefoils and pointed arches. Gothic Revival was present in all arts and in different aspects of daily life even costumes! |
