Jeanne Margaine-Lacroix caused what some called “a riot” at Longchamps race-course in 1908, when 3 models appeared on the scene at the designer’s behest wearing her new corestless, curve hugging, ‘tanagrean dresses.’ This bold move would forever change women’s fashion across the globe, leaving behind the rigid corsets and accentuating the natural silhouette.

This Vietwardian socialite, armed with a letter opener that is sharper than strictly necessary, is prepared to stab the next person who tries her patience. Her gown is inspired by a classic áo dài, but with an Edwardian train and cold-shoulder lace sleeves. The black bobbinet overlay retains the raglan line of an áo dài, combined with a sweetheart neckline. The body panels are linen damask draped over a structured under-bodice, embroidered and beaded with glass jet and cut steel. Rather than traditional trousers, the gown is worn over a frilly black cotton petticoat. The gold bib necklace is inspired by traditional Vietnamese kiềng, particularly the beautiful styles worn by the Hmong, and Art Nouveau enameled jewelry. Her khăn đóng is cloth of gold. She is framed and haloed by pale yellow and pink chrysanthemums.

My own piece for the Genasi and Aasimar Secret Satan! I had the absolute pleasure of drawing for Hans, with their fantastic Aasimar unicorn satyr, Aurelia! Who was a delight to draw
The character was PERFECT for some Art Nouveau vibes and I went straight for that! Asked them for their favourite flowers too, which are littered around the picture. The bird is just… A bird, idk, who doesn't love a bird? I hope you like the picture though, it was VERY challenging!!
