Retouching with black gouache in the lower right corner (masking a defect in the negative). 28,6x22cmBibliography : William A.

The career of Germaine Émilie Krebs, known as Alix, then Alix Grès and finally Madame Grès, spans the 1930s to the 1980s, and traverses the changes in the fashion industry while maintaining a singular style based on draping and a sculptural vision of clothing: "I wanted to be a sculptor. For me, it's the same thing to work with fabric or stone". A privileged witness to the birth and expansion of communication through photography, Madame Grès collaborated from her first collections with many artists such as Man Ray, Cecil Beaton, Horst P. Horst, Genia Rubin and George Hoyningen-Huene.
