	Paul Poiret - the exotic exhibition - Telegraph
		It was Poiret who simultaneously released women from the corseted and buttressed silhouette of the 19th century, whilst delivering another body blow in the form of the “hobble” skirt which made walking akin to geisha-like tiny steps; not, unsurprising, perhaps, since Orientalism was one of Poiret’s major influences.
		Poiret’s life and work will be celebrated for the first time in more than 30 years at a major exhibition at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, May to August, which will form the focus of its Costume Institute’s annual Gala Benefit – regarded as the city’s party of the year – on May 9th.
		Poiret’s signature was characterized by the lavish use of exotic fabrics, metallic decoration, lavish beading and embroideries for sensual, languid, seductive clothes which could have been inspired by the costume of a maharajah, a sultan, an Oriental odalisque.

		Poiret was the first designer to break away from the soft shades of the late Edwardian style, amd used vibrant primary colours.
		Paul Iribe, a graphic artist and jewelery designer was hired to design Poiret's label, which was a simple rose drawing accompanied by the text, "Paul Poiret a Paris." John Hancocks signature is one of the most prominent on the United States Declaration of Independence.
		Poiret's career was temporarily halted when he was called into the military at the outbreak of World War I. He was released from service in 1917, after which he spent several months in Morocco, trying to recuperate from the experience of war.

	ART IN REVIEW; Raoul Dufy -- 'Fashion Drawings for Paul Poiret and Other Works' - New York Times
		The fashions illustrated were those of Paul Poiret, the great French couturier whose flowing, unstructured garments freed women from corsets in the decade before World War I. Dufy made numerous drawings of Poiret's designs in 1917, working in pencil, ink, watercolor and gouache.
		Poiret was not at his best during this period: some designs seem surprisingly conservative, with layered skirts and fitted bodices reminiscent of the 17th-century robe de chambre, while others, including a blue and orange evening coat and several loose-fitting chemise-like dresses, are strikingly modern.
		Poiret was, in fact, beginning his decline at the same moment that Dufy was finding his mature style.
