Founding the Maison de couture Vionnet in 1912, she was the inventor of the bias-cut and draped dresses. In the 1920s, she was praised by the entire fashion press. Her models included Duchess Sforza, Madame de Vilmorin and Liane de Pougy. At the same time, she moved to 50-52 avenue Montaigne in Paris and helped decorate Galeries Lafayette, which she wanted to turn into a temple of fashion. She created evening gowns that hugged the body and emphasized women's curves and curves, which was revolutionary at a time when shapes were, if not hidden, forgotten by other designers. A fine copy.
