executed between 1919 and 1935, which have recently been acquired by Vionnet
and have never been shown. The exquisite
works portray the inspirational collaboration between Madeleine Vionnet and the
futurist artist Thayaht, born Ernesto Michahelles, an eclectic industrial
design pioneer and inventor of the tuta or coveralls, among many other things.

Thayaht Between art and Fashion: “The roots of the house are a constant
source of inspiration and research, says creative director and chair Goga
Ashkenazi, we work principally on mannequins, draping by hand as did Madeleine,
who found in Thayaht the artist to interpret her style with a sense of movement
and color.

Thayaht Between art and Fashion: “The exhibit is unique and demonstrates
a little known aspect of the aesthetic of the house. I was extremely fortunate to come across
these drawings; they reveal a focal point not only of her work, but also of her
cultural vision.” Ashkenazi adds.
