Thank you JRJ for the additional Venetian Bead Pics! Found that Blogger Alain R. Truong had done a beautiful job of compiling Photos and other info about Fortuny Clothing and there are some 8 pages of photos- some with close ups of the Venetian Beads. I have a translate feature that pops upon my Mac as some of it is in French, but if you do not, the photos speak for themselves. Link: http://www.alaintruong.com/tag/Mariano%20Fortuny There are many things written about Fortuny and his Wife as they were quite the creative team and very ahead of their time. They brought Women's "Tea Gowns", formerly a very stiff affair, and Formal Dresses for Social Occasions into the Modern Era just at a time when Women were breaking out of the old Social and Political Norms. This You Tube is kinda long but gives a nice overview for anyone interested: Mariano Fortuny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9KlPLhCG_o All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
