Pink chiffon sleeveless evening gown with a round-shape neckline and a straight long bodice. Embroidered with white and different shades of pink glass beads, forming circles in the taste of Sonia DELAUNAY's simultaneous dresses.Sonia DELAUNAY's fashion is intimately linked to her painting, while claiming its role as a distinct artistic discipline; her vision is unified, regardless of the technique. If the first ‘robe simultanée’, made of assembled geometric cloth trimmings, is inspired by the traditional Russian fabrics, it is mainly the expression of ‘simultanéisme’, a movement created by Sonia and Robert DELAUNAY: this notion of simultaneous contrast relies on the opposition of complementary colors affecting their perception by the observer. The “simultané” patterns that appear on her canvases therefore find themselves on dresses, scarves, bags, dishware, automobiles, carpets and tapestries.
