Gustav Klimt, Emilie Flöge, 1902
… the chic couture house Schwestern Flöge that Emily Flöge and her two sisters had opened in 1904. It was here that the loose, flowing gowns which feature in Gustav Klimt’spaintings were made, most often in fabrics designed and made by the Wiener Werkstätte.
These versatile textiles were designed to be applicable to furnishing, wall-paper, curtains and clothing. Again the Gesamtkunstwerk approach encouraged such versatile designs and uses.
Design is fine. History is mine.
