THE ORIGIN OF A HAUTE COUTURE DRESS

If Alexis Mabille drew this fuchsia dress showed during the last Paris Haute Couture, he probably had in mind the Oleg Cassini dress worn by Jacqueline Kennedy in 1961 for a photo shoot by Richard Avedon, in turn perhaps Oleg Cassini was inspired by the dress that Hubert de Givenchy designed for Audrey Hepburn in 1959. An idea always comes from another idea.
