Brooding, melodramatic, and beautifully styled, the 1945 film Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne is a tale of revenge served cold. Auteur Robert Bresson retells the story of Denis Diderot's Madame de la Pommeraye with the help of dialogue by Cocteau and sets furnished with props from Madeleine Castaing's shop.But what most swept me away was the beyond stunning wardrobe worn by woman-scorned Hélène (played by Maria Casares). Well, no wonder - Alix Grès and Schiaparelli were its creators, and their respective signatures of exquisite draping and wit are reason enough to see this classic.
The plummeting V-neck shows a daring amount of décolleté and is even more exciting in combination with the full-coverage elsewhere. Note the shimmering beaded hem...
which is picked up by this jet necklace...
Note the finally woven mesh scarf thrown over this Grecian goddess gown
Love the dramatic tulle that veils the face then gathers around the neck
another great hat and super strong shoulders.... this dress is intriguingly combined with a cape
and doesn't every fashion show end with a bride? Yes please, Madame Grès...
