Marquise de Chabannes in Cleopatra costume, Vogue, Photo by George Hoyningen-Huene, October 1, 1927.
The Marquise de Chabannes, born Bethune, in Cleopatra, wore a costume perfectly suited to her type: gold lace, embroidery and admirable jewelry, all composed by italian artist Caramba (Luigi Sapelli, 1865-1936), at Marchesa Luisa Casati’s lavish party at the Palais Rose in Vésinet (Paris) on 30 June 1927.
Caramba (Luigi Sapelli, 1865-1936) was the foremost theater costume designer of his generation and probably of the entire 20th century. He reinterpreted the costume in an innovative, modern spirit which changed its conception forever. As director of stage design at La Scala as of 1921 and throughout his lifetime, his imaginative costumes were freely inspired by history, with a wealth of meticulous details and exquisite combinations, bold colours, designs and cut.
