In 1933, Elsa Schiaparelli posed for the artist-decorator Jean Dunand.

In this portrait, she is wearing the "No. 102" model, one of those that achieved immense success during the presentation of the Autumn 1933 Haute Couture collection.

This evening gown featured graphic yet sophisticated shoulder detailing. It was made of Rayesca, one of Schiaparelli's exclusive fabrics, a matte crepe with a pansy blue herringbone pattern.
